SIGNATURE SEMESTER PROGRAM

"History, Media, and Cultural Heritage" is an engaging, innovative semester program based in Rome, Italy that offers students a full range of full immersion courses on Rome, with topics ranging from social media and film to archaeology and art history. 

Founded on AIRC's five years of semester programming in classics, archaeology, and Mediterranean culture, eight years of excavation and conservation work, and partnership with the Italian Ministry of Cutlure and foreign academies in Rome, the program has students confront and address Rome's ever relevant, sustainability through travel and hands-on activities.  Real projects, real issues.  As a direct result of the semester, students will acquire new skill sets and insights into Rome's history and continually evolving society.

The program is open to all but is specifically geared to students of archaeology, art history, classics, communications, environmental sciences, film, journalism, history media, museum studies, social media, sustainability, and urban studies. Previous AIRC semester programs have hosted students from Brown University, California Polytechnic State University, Davidson College, the College of the Holy Cross, Northeastern University, Trinity University, the University of Southern California, and the University of Texas at Austin.
