Stanford in Florence

Stanford in Florence affords undergraduates with at least three quarters of Italian the opportunity to take advantage of the unique intellectual and visual resources of the city and to focus on two areas: Renaissance History and Art, and Contemporary Italian and European Studies. The program is structured to help integrate students as fully as possible into Italian culture through homestays, Florence University courses, the Language Partners Program, research, internship and public service opportunities, and by conducting some of the program's classes completely in Italian.

Many of the courses offered in Florence may count toward the fulfillment of requirements for the Italian major or minor. Students are encouraged to consult with the Italian Undergraduate Adviser before and after a sojourn in Florence to ensure that their course selections meet Italian Section requirements.

Information on the Florence program is available in the Overseas Studies Program Office located in Sweet Hall.
