Florence: Syracuse University School of Art and Design

The Syracuse University School of Art and Design in Florence draws on the rich resources of local museums, architectural monuments, and cultural offerings of the city and is noted for its wide-ranging English-language curriculum in studio art as well as the liberal arts and Italian language (required). Intended for advanced students of studio art, the program features six credits of coursework in drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, accompanied by courses in art history and Italian language. (All applicants are required to submit a portfolio consisting of 12 to 15 slides of recent work.) These courses may be supplemented by additional options in the humanities and social sciences, including literature, philosophy, religion, history, political science, sociology, and women's studies. Each course has its own field study component and a number of all-school field trips are offered to such locations as Rome, Siena, Pisa, Padua, and Ravenna. The program has a collection of 11,000 books and reprints and a new digital imagine library based on fine arts course content. Art studios are located in their own buildings within easy walking distance of the main administrative and classroom center on the centrally located Piazza Savanarola. Housing is provided either in homestays or in shared apartments if the time commitment to studio art precludes living with a family. Eligibility: Capability for advanced work in studio art.
