Study Abroad
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
We encourage you to study abroad for an extraordinary experience away from campus. We offer two programs on alternating years: The European Fashion Study Abroad and The Housing and Property Management Study Abroad. Programs are available across the world for you to travel for a week, a winter session, a summer session, a semester, or even for a year - all while working fulfilling graduation requirements.
Earn academic credit while you're away through faculty-led programs, enrollment in a bi-lateral exchange program, or direct enrollment in programs across the world.
See your advisor to learn more about upcoming study abroad programs and check out what is available from the Global Education Office.
Study Abroad in Florence, Italy
Dates: May 20 – June 20, 2025.
Who can attend: All AHRM majors and minors
Information:
Students will benefit from the home base of studios, classrooms, and housing of the Santa Reparata International School of Art (SRISA) in Florence, Italy.
Through this experiential learning environment, students will increase their knowledge of design, sustainability, marketing, consumerism, housing and management practices in Italy as compared to the U.S.
They will be able to identify unique characteristics of Italian history and culture. The 4-week program gives students the ability to live like locals, compare studio experiences in the U.S. and Italy, travel through Tuscany and Italy, and experience Italy as a student of design, consumerism, and management.
