STUDY ABROAD IN ITALY

The Italian Landscape Studies program offers courses to undergraduate and graduate students in Landscape Architecture and related fields. The program is taught by an internationally known landscape history scholar, Professor David Streatfield. The program is based in the Palazzo Pio, which is widely considered to be the finest facility operated by an American University in Rome. On the Pio's doorstep are incomparable urban landscapes in one of the world's greates cities. In addition, the program uses the landscapes of other Italian cities and villa gardens as a laboratory for understaning Italy's magnificent and unique contributions to landscape and urban design, urbanism, and western culture.
