The benefits of studying abroad at FUA begin with the flexibility of the institution’s academic sessions offered throughout the year.

An exceptionally broad and stimulating curriculum is available through diverse areas of studies and academic disciplines. No matter what the student’s field of study is, there is a place to learn and grow here at FUA. Through FUA’s experiential learning model, students go beyond the class environment, with courses designed to bring the learning experience into Florence’s historic city center through walks, visits, and on-site activities.

In addition to the innovative classroom setting, community engagement is at our core, offering students the chance to get involved with community service and volunteer opportunities connected to their field of study. Educational Field Learning activities offer cultural immersions and insights into the country's rich heritage. The dedicated Student Life and Development Office supports students from pre-departure through the entire study abroad experience.  FUA collaborates with numerous affiliate partners worldwide for the direct transfer of credits. For students from non-affiliated institutions, academic credit can be issued through FUA’s School of Records.
