Summer 2025 application deadline is March 14!

How to apply

We look forward to experiencing a life-changing semester or program with you in Bologna.

Here’s how to get started.

 

SHC students

After submitting your application, SHC will complete an academic and disciplinary review of your records before making a decision on your application. If you have questions about the program, contact the Italy Center.

 

Fall, Spring, Winter, and Summer session (2025)

Faculty-led programs and Urban Summer Internship

  • Submit your application.
  • If you are accepted, you will receive next steps for your application, including payment amounts and deadlines. 

 

Partner-institution students

We encourage all students that are interested in our program to submit an online application through our website as it will allow us to keep in contact with you throughout the process. The most important step is to understand any and all procedures that you must follow from your home campus study abroad office. We, the Italy Center, will not be able to officially accept you into the program until we receive official approval from your home campus study abroad office–that is why it is absolutely critical that you work closely with your study abroad adviser throughout the process. After we receive approval from your study abroad advisor, we will then move forward in preparing you for your time abroad with us in Bologna.

 

Fall, Spring, and Summer, and Winter programs

Your home institution’s study abroad office will handle your application and payments for participation in these programs. 

  • Before you begin an application, review your eligibility.
  • Apply and receive approval from your home institution’s study abroad office.
