Italy In the birthplace of the Renaissance, Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze provides an unparalleled opportunity to encounter art as an immersive experience. If you're looking for an abundance of art, history, and an exceptionally charming culture, Florence is the place for you. Walk the same streets—and school hallways—as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Dante and just try not to be inspired. Student Testimonial “I decided to go abroad to enhance my education and resume. I also had never traveled outside the U.S. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for that. Florence is an amazing place. The city's full of interesting people of all walks of life. You can learn as much about yourself as you can about the people who lived there 400 years ago.” –Sharon Murphree ‘18 Program Details School Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze Semester Offered Spring semester Tuition Same as your MCAD tuition; there's no extra tuition cost to study off-campus Housing Included in program, furnished Cost Airfare: $1,000 Housing: Free!
