Pre-College Study Abroad: Rome is an exciting new program that invites students entering grades 10, 11, or 12 to travel to Rome, Italy to experience what life would be like as an undergraduate student at Temple University Rome. Students will live in onsite dormitory facilities in our incredible new location at the historic Spanish Steps in the center of Rome.
Home to one of the oldest and most prestigious US university programs in Italy, Temple University Rome prepares students to become global citizens by equipping them with enhanced cross-cultural, linguistic, analytic, and problem-solving skills.
Through this unique 10-day program, you will learn from Temple Rome faculty as a member of a small group of American and international students, using Rome itself as your classroom. You'll experience college level instruction with interdisciplinary, hands-on lessons and activities and discover why Rome is known as the Eternal City.
