| Program Notes | |
| |
Note: Please check program pages regularly or follow @UDGlobal on Instagram or Twitter for updated information on applying for a 24J study abroad program.
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 | |
| |
Experience the Mediterranean lifestyle while participating in cooking classes, experiencing agriturismos, and sampling local foods in Tuscany. Tentatively we will explore local markets and experience the additional cultures of Rome and Florence. In addition, learn about the lifestyles of some of the centenarians and those long- lived older adults in Italy through visits and observations in marketplaces and to senior centers. This knowledge will be used as the framework for content in BHAN335, Health & Aging.
Students will reside in shared, dormitory-style rooms at the international residential campuses of the Scuola Internazionale di Alta Formazione (SIAF) in Volterra, and in double or triple hotel rooms in Asciano, Florence, and Rome. All breakfasts and a majority of other meals will be provided. Students will participate in tours related to the production of regional foods and culinary classes. In addition, students will have tours and engage with the aging community in various senior centers in these regions. The majority of these activities will be shared with the UD Italy NTDT micro program.
The Program Fee includes housing, all excursions and cultural activities, local transportation, and most meals. Students will be responsible for other meals not included.
The Program Fee does not include airfare, nor airport transfers within the U.S. The program officially begins when students arrive in Italy. Students will receive detailed travel instructions upon acceptance. Students will also be given recommended flight itineraries for traveling together. See the Cost section below for estimated airfare. |
