Spend an exciting semester living and studying in three different countries!

Or spend a full semester at our Rome campus immersed in the life of the "Eternal City." Either program offers dynamic service learning opportunities along with 12-18 credits over the academic semester, with courses that are culturally rich, academically challenging, and inspire an appreciation for European culture.
Featured Destination of the Month: South Africa

With the immense diversity of its cultures, landscapes and wildlife, South Africa is one of the African continent's most exciting nations. Since the end of apartheid in 1994, its economy, society and politics have undergone dramatic transformation. The country's modern infrastructure and excellent universities offer students a chance to experience this emerging society in a challenging academic setting..
South Africa has the strongest higher education system on the continent, and its multicultural universities are responsible for conducting most of Africa's research. Through radical reforms, the university system has been completely restructured to reflect the new priorities of post-apartheid society. The 23 public universities fall into three distinct categories - traditional, technological and comprehensive. More than half of the country's students attend the latter, a stimulating educational environment where academics are combined with vocational tracks up to the Doctoral level. Visit StudyAbroadFunding.org to find funding opportunities for study abroad in South Africa.

Cape Town, Mother City of South Africa and the vibrant center of one of the most beautiful regions of the Western Cape, is rich in cultural diversity. The country's oldest European settlement is a melting pot of local Khoisan tribes, Bantu tribes from the north, and French, Dutch, German, British and Indonesian settlers. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery and set against a tapestry of architecture, cuisine, art, music and dance, Cape Town offers students an abundant and exciting study abroad experience.
U.S. students can apply for study abroad at either of these universities through Arcadia University, Center for Education Abroad. Arcadia's Cape Town orientation program provides students with an in-depth look at the city's cultural diversity, and includes field trips to areas such as the historic District Six, the up-market Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, and the traditional Muslim neighborhood known as Bo-Kaap or the Cape Malay Quarter.
