Cultural Studies: Art History

What The American University of Florence says about their program:

Cultural studies refer to the study of cultural issues and policy at varying levels from local to regional, national, and international. The benefit of undertaking cultural studies at FUA in Florence, Italy, derives from the rich diversity found in the regional differences of the Italian landscape positioned within a European framework along with Italy's cultural contributions to the international context. The studies of this program are rooted in the analysis and interpretation of culture supported by the liberal arts. Students will examine the human understanding, organization, interpretation and communication of the world. Coursework will present topics related to philosophy, literature, creative expression, society, and belief systems throughout history and how they have impacted societal issues of ethics, gender, class, and race. The aim of the program is to provide students with a solid foundation of cultural knowledge and practices, supported by skills in writing, research, and critical thinking through interdisciplinary perspectives. Coursework is supported by experiential learning methodologies that directly involve students in diverse cultural contexts and the local community.

Many international students will require a visa to study in Italy, and this is a vital step of your study abroad journey. Make sure you understand the requirements you may need to meet before applying.
