Study Italian language and culture in Siena, a city whose historical center has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The course, Intermediate Italian, will be taught by Yale faculty, as students take the equivalent of one term during three weeks on the Yale campus, followed by the equivalent of one term during five weeks in Italy. The second part of the course allows students to put their language skills into practice, and provides for trips and cultural encounters in the Tuscany region.

Important Italian Visa Information

All non-European Union citizens will need a visa to study abroad in Italy.
If you do not have a passport, apply for one as soon as possible. Call the Italian Consulate for an appointment for your visa. All Yale students can go through the New York Italian Consulate in Manhattan as a Yale student. (If you wait to do this when you go home, your closest Italian Consulate might be a plane ride away.) Appointments at the Consulate fill up and if you don't call well in advance, you might not be able to get an appointment in time and have enough time to complete the visa application and retrieval process.
