Study Abroad in Rome: Courses
Italian language course levels are determined by placement tests to ensure the appropriate level. Since language demands are challenging, students are often placed in a level lower than requested. Students should make sure the advisors at their home institutions are informed about this to avoid problems with credit transfer. A minimum enrollment of 10 is required to confirm a course.
