Study in the Heart of Rome

Rome in Residence is UW’s campus abroad, hosted at the UW Rome Center, located in the ancient heart of Rome just off the Campo de’ Fiori. This new program allows you to complete general education requirements and choose from five 5-credit courses all about Rome, giving you an all-round and in-depth appreciation of the Eternal City.

Living and studying in the center of historic Rome will give you the opportunity to interact with the local community and discover some of the most important archeological, architectural, and artistic riches in Italy. You’ll learn from Italian instructors with fellow UW students, go on field trips, and build your Italian skills. And eat pizza. Really good pizza.

For Autumn 2024

The class schedule will be available early August. Check back regularly for updates on optional events. You can view the spring 2024 schedule to get an idea of when classes will be taking place.
