UNCP Program in Rome, Italy

UNCP in partnership with John Cabot University (JCU ) in Rome has been specifically designed to fill the needs of all UNCP students in the following ways:

1. To pursue studies in Rome.
2. To develop an understanding of Italian culture and language in Rome.
3. To facilitate the ability of students to critically think in an international environment.

Program Location

 

Only in Rome can you sip cappuccino at a café in front of the Pantheon, buy grapes at a centuries-old market, and have an audience with the pope–all in one morning. For a mix of spectacular art, grand history, and exuberant street life, no other city comes close. (Source: Fodor’s)

 

Rome is a city of vivid and unforgettable images: the view of the city's silhouette from Janiculum Hill at dawn, the array of broken marble columns and ruins of temples of the Roman Forum, St. Peter's dome against a pink-and-red sunset, capping a gloriously decorated basilica. (Source: Frommer’s)

Romans know how to live the good life. After you've done your duty to culture by wandering through the Colosseum and being awed by the Pantheon, after you've traipsed through St. Peter's Basilica and thrown a coin in the Trevi Fountain, you can pause to experience the charm of the Roman evening. Find a cafe at summer twilight and watch the shades of pink turn to gold and copper before night finally falls. That's when another Rome comes alive; restaurants and cafes grow more animated, especially if you've found one on an ancient hidden piazza or along a narrow alley deep in Trastevere. After dinner, you can have a gelato and stroll by the fountains through Piazza Navona, and the night is yours. (Source: Frommer’s)
