The 2026 Florence program will take place from May 18 - June 14, 2026.
About the Program
Spend four weeks this summer living in the midst of and learning about Italian culture with our Florence, Italy UL Lafayette Study Abroad Program. Students take three courses for nine credit hours; of which, one course (three credit hours) is the mandated Humanities course.
Students will also tour the astonishing cities of Siena and San Gimignano (a hilltop town with medieval towers) and spend a weekend in Rome touring St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Vatican Museum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon and the Colosseum as well as other sights in this historic city. You may also participate in optional excursions to destinations such as Pisa, Venice, and Cinque Terre, five villages perched along the cliff sides on the Mediterranean Coast.
By enrolling in these courses, you will engage with some of today’s most urgent global issues—from health and climate action to innovation and cultural preservation.
