Winter Quarter 2023

The SHC Italy Center offers a Winter Quarter option for students attending universities on the quarter system.  Winter Quarter 2023 begins January 15 and ends on March 19.  Students will have ample time to return to the United States in order to begin the Spring Quarter on their home campus. 

All academic courses offered in the Spring Semester will be available to Winter Quarter students as 3-credits courses. As a general rule, all coursework must be completed before the beginning of the Spring Quarter. Students enrolled in the Winter Quarter program may be required to complete some academic work via remote learning.
