Italian Campus Academic Program

The courses that are offered both capitalize on the rich cultural and historical environment of Rome AND allow students to fulfill important Duquesne University CORE Theme Area and general requirements. The courses have been selected with sophomores in mind, but juniors and seniors are always welcome. These SAME courses will be offered every semester, so you can count on these offerings.

Class Schedules in Italy
What will my schedule be like?

Class schedules will be very different from a typical semester at Duquesne.  The class-week is Monday through Thursday to allow 3-day weekends.  This allows for all students to take advantage of great immersion opportunities in Italy and throughout Europe.

Most courses meet once per week and are structured around off-site classes meeting each week in the heart of ancient Rome.

No classes conflict with another allowing ease in registration.  

Classrooms Enviroment
Where will my classes take place while studying at the Italian Campus?

The "common spaces" are on the ground floor of the Italian Campus building, the same building as the students residence.  You will find two classrooms, dining rooms, laundry, lounge, kitchenette and library all located on the ground floor "common spaces"
