These courses are designed to engage you in critical thinking and challenge you to pursue subjects in depth through academic and field research in Florence.

Internship Abroad:

CAPA also offers qualified students the option of doing an internship in Italian, or participating in an Advanced Track Italian Language and Internship Program. We have built an extensive network of internship sites, with opportunities available in businesses, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations of every kind. Work with local people in Italian!
