Best experience of my life.
Spend your first semester as a first-year student in Prato, Italy, the second largest city in Tuscany and just 25 minutes from Florence. While studying in Prato you will be immersed in the Italian culture while taking your necessary classes.
Students must be 18 years old by August 1st in order to apply to study abroad as part of the First-Year Program at the University of New 51¶ºÄÌ's Tuscany Campus because they need to apply for a student visa and the Italian Consulate does not issue student visas to minors. Most majors can study abroad their first year but it is often dependent on credits brought in from courses being completed in high school and/or how the college major course plan is laid out. Students in math, technical, or science based majors should discuss their study abroad interest with advisors or the study abroad office.
For questions specific to the Tuscany Study Abroad program, please see our Tuscany Campus FAQ.
Best experience of my life.
I immersed myself into the cultures of eleven different countries.
A bond that can never be broken.
