Description:

Founded in 1972, John Cabot University is licensed by the Department of Education of the State of Delaware, accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, and authorized by the Government of Italy to operate as an American four-year university in Rome.
Encouraging academic excellence is fundamental to JCU's educational mission to produce graduates who are successful in the international communities of business, public service, and academe. One indicator of our success in doing so is the admission of recent graduates into graduate programs at such prestigious institutions as Cambridge, Columbia, the London School of Economics, and the University of Chicago

JCU's urban campus is located in the neighborhood of Trastevere, the Transtiber of the ancient Romans. The main facility is the Guarini Campus, named in honor of JCU Trustee and generous donor, the Honorable Frank J. Guarini. This building is in the same complex as Italy's four-hundred-year-old National Academy of Sciences, whose most famous member was Galileo. JCU recently acquired a new building on the banks of the Tiber River, just a four-minute walk from the main campus. The newly renovated Tiber Campus has tripled the University's space, allowing JCU to expand its academic programs and offer an even wider range of services to students. Both campuses feature spacious modern classrooms equipped with up-to-date internet and audiovisual equipment as well as facilities for conferences and receptions. JCU also has ample computer laboratories and one of the best English language libraries in Rome

At JCU, nearly 800 students from over forty countries and nearly every state across the U.S. work together in an atmosphere of dialogue and tolerance.
