Online – Direct from Italy!
We are pleased to continue to offer a virtual Italian experience this year with our most popular online courses. Students may choose from among a selection of courses offered by our programs in Italy – The International Studies Institute in Florence and the Umbra Institute in Perugia.
All courses are taught online direct from Italy by our dedicated and expert faculty and academic partners. We also offer a limited number of selective remote internships with ISI Abroad.
But it doesn’t end there! We know that the covid-19 crisis has caused many students to postpone their plans to study abroad this year and we want to help keep those study abroad dreams alive by offering students the ability to not only gain valuable course credit online this fall, but also join us in Italy next summer at an exclusive and affordable rate.
With our online now, travel later option, students can:

ISI Abroad professors are well-prepared to deliver meaningful content in a digital environment. Their goal for the semester is both to create an online community and to make learning online fun and productive. If you have questions, we’re happy to put you in contact with the professors directly and give you draft syllabi. Courses are all taught entirely in English, and yield three (3) semester credits each. Students may take up to three courses.
