We’ve put together a comprehensive list of the most common questions we receive about studying abroad in Florence, Italy. It includes information on academics, costs, housing, traveling and living in the city.

At the Florence Center, students can choose from a diverse array of courses approved by С��Ƭ��Ƶ colleges and academic departments.

All majors are welcome and course offerings cover many academic areas at both undergraduate and graduate level.

If a full semester abroad doesn’t feel realistic for you, there are additional opportunities to study in Florence during the summer and spring break.  You can choose the program and the length of time that suits you best.

A local team of over 40 experts supports over 800 KSU students every year, making С��Ƭ��Ƶ Florence the largest С��Ƭ��Ƶ education abroad program and the largest American program in the city.

You’ll be assisted throughout the whole education abroad process (e.g., flights, housing, travel documents, etc.) and you’ll benefit from comprehensive orientations before you depart and when you arrive in Italy to prepare you for life in your new city.

Out of the 200+ programs we offer, С��Ƭ��Ƶ Florence is one of the easiest locations to choose because the whole center is run by our university – our professors, our staff, our facilities. 

This makes it an extremely smooth process for you when it comes to the logistics of studying abroad such as paperwork, credentials, or payments.
