Since 1971, Rutgers has offered a program of junior-year studies at the University of Florence, Italy. Competence in oral and written Italian is required. Under the guidance of a Rutgers University resident director, students attend a preliminary six-week intensive language and culture session. Following that, they attend courses at the University of Florence. Students also are able to spend the spring term in Florence as part of the Rutgers Study Abroad Program. (See Study Abroad.) Interested students should apply early in the second term of the sophomore year by contacting the Study Abroad office at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 102 College Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8543.
