History of Art & Italian Studies in Siena

Siena town square

If you are an Italy lover, looking for immersion, CET Siena is the program for you. This is an intimate program in a small city—individual attention from staff allows students to quickly feel at home. University of Virginia oversees academics, which means fast-paced language classes that cover one year of Italian in a term, and electives that challenge and inspire. History of art courses are a particular favorite, as they lead students out the door to explore every fresco of Siena, a beautiful Renaissance city. The program is open to serious students from all schools and Italian language levels.
