Sarah Lawrence Colleges in Florence Italy

To study on the Sarah Lawrence program in Florence is to inhabit history, to step into a living text; it is to directly encounter some of the world's greatest art and gain the critical tools to confront it fully.

It is to take in a city of subtle moods from literary, historical and archaeological vantage points; to create one's own art and music in studios under the guidance of practicing artists and musicians. In short, it is to take an academic journey of extraordinary breadth and depth.

As a student on the Sarah Lawrence program, you'll have extensive opportunities to delve into the culture of Italy, to pursue your academic interests through the highly refined lens that is Florence. In this seat of humanism and individual accomplishment, you'll receive personal attention from Italian faculty in humanities seminars and in studio courses in the visual arts and music.

Living in an Italian home, you will gain a command of the Italian language. And as your learning expands, you'll gain an inner knowledge—and an intellectual confidence—that will take you well beyond the city's gates.
