CAED STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM
Florence, Italy
Each year the College of Architecture and Environmental Design (CAED) provides the opportunity for all students within the college to have an educational experience in Florence, Italy. Students experience the historical evolution of European art, architecture and urbanism, as well as the contemporary “design scene” and the on-going modernization of European cities.
Both in the Fall and in the Spring, the programs are structured as SEMESTER-LONG, with the opportunity of earning a full semester credit load, fitting conveniently into the student curricula, as well as resulting in a more efficient investment to study abroad. The "semester format" provides also a more comprehensive, richer and impactful experience for the students, compared to shorter programs.
The FALL semester program offers:
- a GRADUATE program in architecture & urban design, open to CAED students and students from other universities;
- an UNDERGRADUATE program in architectural studies , open to CAED students and students from other universities;
- an UNDERGRADUATE program in architecture & interior design, for students from other universities, with a curriculum similar to the CAED undergraduate program in ARCHITECTURE and iNTERIOR DESIGN offered in the Spring semester.
The SPRING semester program offers an UNDERGRADUATE program in architecture & interior design, specifically tailored for CAED students.
Florence is an ideal location for a study abroad program in architecture and design. The city is small enough that students feel very comfortable to live and walk around, and yet it is only a short train ride from Rome, Venice, and Milan. Convenient airfares across Europe make Florence also an ideal springboard for travelling throughout many other European nations and cultures.
As the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. The city has more than a hundred museums that cover the fine arts—painting, sculpture, tapestry, and many crafts, as well as architecture, science, geography and more. The center of the city is itself a museum filled with the meticulously preserved architecture dating from the medieval and Renaissance periods to the present.
