Italy is one of the most popular destinations for American students studying abroad. Why choose UNH-in-Italy from all of the options available?
The City
- UNH-in-Italy is located in the small and safe Italian provincial capital, Ascoli Piceno. This provides students a rare opportunity to experience an "undiscovered gem" of an Italian city relatively free of foreign tourists
- Ascoli Piceno features a gorgeous historic center, amazing food, and lively cultural traditions
- Easy access to the mountains, the beach, and transportation routes to support personal travel to the rest of Italy and Europe
The Cost
- Very affordable compared to other study abroad programs in Italy. Students pay UNH tuition and fees for housing and in-country travel
- All financial aid and scholarships apply
- Most UNH student services fees are waived
The Courses
- Courses centered around culinary traditions, agriculture, and the larger food system
- No Italian language background needed
- Course offerings include multiple discovery requirements, as well as the ability to satisfy the foreign language requirement (in a semester) for students pursuing a BA degree
- All courses offered are UNH courses - no need to worry about the transferability of courses
- Our semester- and summer-long programs are approved to fulfill the International Experience requirement of the Dual Major in Ecogastronomy
- Interested in the Minor in Nutrition? Our courses with the "NUTR" prefix can be used to fulfill the requirements toward the Nutrition Minor
- Complete up to two courses toward the Culinary Nutrition and Food Studies Minor
The Support
- The UNH-in-Italy Program is a UNH-managed program. On a UNH-managed study abroad program:
- A UNH faculty member serves as program director on-site or on UNH campus, or both
- Students study abroad with other UNH students, as well as other US and international students, in many cases
- Courses are aligned with UNH curricula, making it easy to fulfill UNH Major, Minor, and Discovery requirements
- Students pay UNH tuition plus a program fee that typically covers room, board, and excursions
- Students are eligible to apply their federal financial aid and most scholarships toward the cost of the program
-
Because UNH administers the program, registration, finances, and other logistics are streamlined and simple
- Students have the opportunity to work with UNH faculty and staff before, during, and after their experience
