Ideal for students who want to study abroad in Italy over the summer, Campus L鈥橧nfinito offers an excellent one-month program in Italian language and culture in the beautiful town of Recanati, Italy. Since our collaboration with Campus L鈥橧nfinito began, our students have been greatly impressed with the quality of instruction and the immersive language learning environment that Recanati provides. Regarding her study abroad experience in Recanati, Italian MA student Yubeli Urrea said:

鈥淥verall the best part of my study abroad experience was meeting and learning from the instructors at Campus L鈥橧nfinito. They were all extremely dedicated to their students and were willing to find new and fun ways to teach Italian. The experience was truly unforgettable. Anyone interested in immersing themselves in Italian culture and studying Italian in an environment that is inviting and fun should consider a summer in Recanati, Italy!鈥

Over the years, the George L. Graziadio Center for Italian Studies has worked closely with Ca鈥 Foscari University of Venice to create an outstanding study abroad program for students at 黑料网. Students can enroll for either 1 or 2 semesters and have a wide range of classes from which to choose. Kiawna Brewster, a recent graduate of the Italian MA Program, said the following about her study abroad experience at Ca鈥 Foscari:

鈥淢y time at Ca鈥 Foscari definitely enhanced my overall experience in the Italian MA Program at 黑料网. I spent my last semester in Venice and was able to make progress in my research by accessing new materials and immersing myself in Ca鈥 Foscari's rich academic environment. All of my professors were extremely accommodating and willing to work with me. Our collaboration allowed me to refine and develop research that I had started at 黑料网鈥攆or this I am most grateful. I would definitely recommend this program anyone, since it鈥檚 a great opportunity for students to grow, explore a new city, and experience life at an Italian university.鈥
