Please review the CGPS COVID-19 Updates page before applying to a study abroad program for information about COVID-19 related travel requirements and policies for UD study abroad.
All applicants must have a valid passport by the program’s application deadline. Your passport’s expiration date must be more than six months after the program ends. If you do not have a current passport, apply through the U.S. State Department. It takes an average of 10-13 weeks (3-4 months) to process a passport.
Traveling and studying abroad during a global pandemic poses new challenges and requires accepting a higher level of uncertainty than in the past. Students who choose to study abroad at this time must be prepared to adapt to the evolving situation and must take responsibility to act in accordance with the rules, regulations, and recommendations of UD, their program leadership, and legal authorities of their home and host country. Due to the rapidly changing and unpredictable global and local response to COVID-19, these rules, regulations and recommendations are subject to change at any time.
The University will continue to monitor the ongoing situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) as we approach the departure date for this program. Please reach out to your program coordinator or faculty director with questions and continue to monitor the UD coronavirus webpage for updates. If UD decides to cancel a study abroad program, we will communicate directly with affected students. |

| Program Description | |
| |
Study in La Città Eterna - The Eternal City. Rome, the capital of Italy, is a sprawling, cosmopolitan city with nearly 3,000 years of globally influential art, architecture and culture on display. This UD semester program is co-hosted by John Cabot University (JCU), an accredited, degree-granting liberal arts institution enrolling over 1700 students from around the globe. JCU’s location in the Trastevere section of Rome, on the Tiber River and close to central Rome, makes it ideally situated for students wishing to live and learn amidst a unique blend of the ancient and the contemporary.
John Cabot University maintains three campuses in Trastevere. Enter the Guarini Campus through the Porta Settimiana, part of the original Aurelian Wall, dating from the third century. Guarini is located on the former grounds of the Accademia dei Lincei (national science academy), where Galileo was once a member. The Academy is now located across the street from Guarini. Here you'll find classrooms; the auditorium (concerts, plays, films & lectures); the Frohring Library, one of Italy's most comprehensive English language libraries (study rooms, multimedia lab and a new media production facilty); a meditation garden, administrative offices; and two classic Italian terraces where students gather to socialize and study. A five-minute walk from Guarini are the Tiber Campus and the Critelli Campus. Tiber is a state-of-the-art building with smart classrooms, a student lounge, the dining hall, the Student Activities office, and other student services. The Caroline Critelli Guarini Campus hosts classrooms, administrative offices, and a physics laboratory. All John Cabot University campuses are fully wireless and equipped with 21st-century learning technologies. JCU’s status as a fully accredited secondary educational institution means that it offers an array of services similar to those found on U.S. campuses: student clubs, sport and recreational activities, fitness center, computer labs, libraries, cultural and social events, counseling and medical services, and a residence life staff.
This semester-long study abroad program is designed for undergraduate students regardless of major. Courses are taught by JCU’s multi-national faculty, many of whom were educated in the United States. Instructional methods and grading are based on the U.S. system. Instruction is in English, with the exception of Italian language courses. Some courses include out-of-class activities throughout central Rome, which may require an additional fee.
This semester in Rome program offers opportunities for more immersive experiences such as for-credit and zero-credit internships and community engagement. Contact the program coordinator for more details about these, or see JCU Community Service, Italy Reads, Italy Starts or JCU internships. Please note: internship placement is not guaranteed.
Students will be housed in double or triple rooms in fully furnished JCU-leased apartments, with three to eight other JCU students. Apartments are within approximately a 30-35 minute walk or up to 30 minutes by public transportation, and include a fully furnished kitchen, bed linens, a washing machine, and a weekly cleaning service. Resident Assistants also reside in all JCU apartment buildings. Some apartments are situated amidst apartments occupied by local residents, providing a perfect opportunity for meaningful contact with locals. The buildings feature 24/7 security with an armed guard, locked gates and secondary doors, and high security, double-lock entrance doors to each apartment.
Please note: Due to the time required to obtain the mandatory visa, students must have a valid passport by the application deadline, AND the passport must be valid for at least six months after the end of the program. The "six month passport validity rule" applies to all Shengen Treaty countries, as well as many in Africa, Middle East, and Asia. The U.S. Department of State recommends renewing one's passport no less than nine months before its expiration.
The Program Fee includes housing, international medical insurance, airport transfer upon arrival in Rome (for those traveling on the recommended flights), orientation week activities, all program-related activities, and full access to JCU facilities and services.
The Program Fee does not include airfare, UD tuition, meals, books, return trip to airport, the Italian visa fee (approximately $100) or the required "Declaration of Presence" fee required by the Italian government (approximately $200 for U.S. citizens). The program officially begins when students arrive in Rome. Students will need to budget for meals, cell phone, books and supplies, and other personal expenses. Upon acceptance to the program, students will be given recommended flight itineraries for traveling together. See the Cost section below for estimated airfare.
Hear it from another student: Do you have questions about daily life in Rome or the courses at JCU? Ask one of our student ambassadors - a student either currently in Rome or one who recently studied there. Send an email to ksorlin@udel.edu, with the words "Rome reference" in the subject line. |

| ACCESSIBILITY: Students with disabilities are welcomed and encouraged to study abroad, but should be aware that accessibility and accommodation in some program locations may differ from the United States. Transit systems and legacy building construction practices may not meet U.S. accessibility standards, and alternative access to public transportation, buildings, or public sites cannot be guaranteed.
