This program is sponsored and administered by the College of Staten Island CUNY.
Founded in 1969 as an independent, coeducational, four-year institution, The American University of Rome is located in a beautiful villa on Rome’s highest hill, the Janiculum, on the right bank of the Tiber River. The four-story villa and an adjacent five-story building have a complete range of facilities, including classrooms, art and design studios, a student lounge, computer laboratories, faculty and administrative offices and classrooms.
Off-campus facilities include a one-hundred seat auditorium, an art studio, design and architecture studios, faculty office, and the library. Surrounded by its own garden, the campus is close to major parks of Villa Sciarra and Villa Pamphili, and the renowned American Academy.
The university has an international enrollment of approximate 550 students each year, and its faculty comes from leading educational, business, and government centers throughout Europe and the United States.
Course Offerings
Students may take 12 to 16 credits in a variety of disciplines, including one required course in Italian language, which is offered at all levels, from beginning through advanced. No previous knowledge of Italian is required.
The language of instruction is English, with the exception of Italian language and literature courses unless the literature course is designated, “in translation.” Classes are small, with emphasis on student-teacher interaction.
The university offers course work in several disciplines, including: History, Italian Language and Literature, Art History, Communications, Business, International Business, and International Relations. A limited number of internships for students fluent in Italian and who participate in the program for an academic year can be arranged upon request and are offered at international law firms, multinational companies, and international organizations like the Fulbright Commission.

"I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of instruction I received at the American University of Rome. The courses were challenging and informative, and the members of faculty were genuinly attentive and helpful... I met an "extended family" living on the other side of the world - people that I plan on knowing/visiting for the rest of my life"
