Prepare to be charmed by Sienas medieval history and rich culture. Located on three hills in the heart of the enchanting Tuscan countryside, this ancient city's historical center has been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
This program's core course, Presence of the Past, makes Siena and the Tuscan countryside your classroom through activities that explore important sites in and around the city. You will be introduced to the beauty of Sienas cultural and artistic heritage.
Take a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level Italian course, alongside English- and Italian-taught area studies courses. Advanced students can also enroll in courses at a Università degli Studi di Siena.
