International Academy Antonella: Study Abroad in Ascoli Piceno, Italy

The Study Abroad program at IAA is designed to foster and develop cultural exchange opportunities for international students. Participants can gain college credit, which is recognized through M.I.U.R. (Ministry of Italian Universities and Research) through a collaboration with the private university “Libera Facolta’ di Scienze Turistiche Umberto Fragola” of Caserta, Italy.  

IAA is located in the heart of Ascoli Piceno, a medieval city in central Italy. IAA’s program focuses principally on giving students an in-depth Italian language experience enriched with two other scholastic programs: “Medieval Studies” and “Italian Cultural Studies”. IAA has been approved by the European Union and, as their council determined that IAA’s unique cultural exchange has the ability to stimulate both the economy and academic endeavors, it was granted their financial support.

Attending IAA will allow students to: acquire college credit, increase their language skills immersed among native speakers, experience different educational styles while seeing the world through a new culture, and boost their resume through a life experience that encourages personal development.
