Past Review

I gained a sense of myself as a traveler, a student, and an adult in a way that I did not yet see at Tufts.

About

CET Siena is for those who want to dive in to the Italian lifestyle. Take one or two semester's worth of Italian language. There are electives in economics, computer science, art history, international relations, film, literature, and more! You'll even practice your Italian outside the classroom where it counts.

Visit a contrada to learn about the Palio horserace one day. Head to Florence to see Michelangelo’s David and the Medici chapels the next. University of Virginia oversees academics, making this program a good fit for students of all majors and Italian language levels!
