1. Experience the Best of Both Worlds: An American Education in an Italian Setting
John Cabot University offers a distinctively American-style education set against the backdrop of the eternal city of Rome. With small class sizes, interactive discussions, and close connections to professors with prestigious degrees from institutions like Harvard, Oxford, and Yale, you'll experience a dynamic learning environment.

When you study abroad at JCU, the city of Rome becomes your living laboratory.
2. Learn and Grow with Students from Around the World

The university’s emphasis on community and cultural engagement goes beyond the classroom. Our Cultural Programs Office organizes trips, cooking classes, and cultural activities that allow you to dive deeper into Italian culture and the local Roman way of life. Gaining these experiences can help foster a sense of global citizenship and enhance your personal and academic growth.
3. Live and Explore Like a Local As You Study Abroad
Living in Rome offers a study abroad experience like no other. JCU’s university housing places you in fully equipped, independent apartments near campus, giving you a true taste of Roman life. Alongside this, JCU’s Cultural Programs Office organizes trips to explore Italy’s beauty and history every semester, from weekend getaways to Venice to wine tastings in the Castelli Romani.
You can also immerse yourself in Rome’s vibrant culture by attending concerts, art exhibitions, and performances. Whether you’re listening to classical music at the Globe Theatre or watching opera at the Roman Opera House, these experiences will bring Italian culture to life during your study abroad journey.
JCU’s university housing is an essential part of your study-abroad experience.
4. Expand Your Career Opportunities with Internships in Rome
Studying at JCU provides a launchpad for your future career. JCU’s Center for Career Services connects students with more than 780 companies and organizations, offering many internship opportunities in business, communications, art history, and international relations.
Through these internships, students get to put classroom knowledge into practice and hone important workforce skills, as Gaia Cucchi confirms.
