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

The Courses:

JCU offers students of every nationality a unique educational experience that broadens intellectual horizons, encourages critical thinking, and develops self-reliance. As an American liberal arts university located in Rome, one of the world's richest cultural centers, JCU encourages students to develop intellectually and personally as responsible, thoughtful global citizens. 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.

The Colleges:

JCU's multicultural and multilingual faculty of over 100 professors is dedicated to delivering an undergraduate American education in an international setting. Our professors hold advanced degrees from major universities all over the world. With a student to faculty ratio of 15:1, JCU students enjoy a highly personalized classroom experience.

The Colleges:
Central Saint Martins
From the iconic design of London's red Routemaster buses and the chopper bike to exquisite fashion at Dior and Chloé, Central Saint Martins' alumni have made a profound impact on our lives. Our staff and students continue to build on the success of our past by pushing the boundaries of the practice of art and design and art and design education. In 2008 Central Saint Martins welcomed over 4,500 students on to more than 300 art, design and performance summer courses, in addition to 6,000 term time short course students and 4,500 undergraduates and postgraduates.

Domus Academy
Founded in Milan, Italy in 1982 as an open project constructed around Italian experiences in Design and Fashion, Domus Academy has developed two major areas of specialisation, each enriched by exchange and synergies with the other: on the one hand, the institution has established itself as an international centre for postgraduate training; on the other, it has become an important landmark for research and consulting for themes including innovation and design. Training is conducted through eight, one year master courses in Milan and one in Rome, realised with the collaboration and support of premiere companies. The school's master degrees are recognised by the University of Wales and valued at a total of 180 credits. An extensive range of short courses in spring, summer and autumn are also available.

NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti)
The Milan section of the beginner courses are run by NABA, a renowned academy of fine arts and design, formed in 1980 by a group of local artists, with the intention of challenging the rigid academic traditions of the time by introducing new visions and languages closer to contemporary artistic practice and the creative professions. NABA training programmes are based on a cross-disciplinary method aimed at developing artistic and professional skills and profiles in the fields of art, design, fashion, media and graphic design.

NABA's extensive campus located in the Navigli area, one of the liveliest districts of the city, has considerable architectural value and hosts undergraduate and postgraduate students from both Italy and around the world.
