Participants then study in Perugia, the ideal location for students who wish to acquire a genuine experience of Italian life, culture and history in a safe, student friendly environment, while earning up to 6 academic credits in just one month! On this program, students can fulfill the GER foreign language requirement, if taken for a letter grade. All courses have been pre-approved for NCSU. This program is for students who are attending or will attend courses in Italian at every level with the main goal of improving their fluency in the Italian language while living in Italy and attending courses at an Italian university. Classes are taught by Italian faculty and supervised by Anna Rita Bonaduce-Dresler as NC State faculty director on site. The classes may be taken for a grade or credit only. Costs For program cost information, see the above Summer Budget Sheet. Early application is advisable for all NC State Summer Programs. Location Perugia is located in the Umbria region, called the "Green Heart of Italy" because it is a green and fertile area with hills and mountains. It has Etruscan origins and is rich in Medieval and Renaissance art and architecture. All needed services, ie banks, medical services, restaurants, movies, are located in the historic center. Perugia has a busy season of concerts, theater and entertainment, including the famous Umbria Jazz and Rock in Umbria festivals, in July. Within easy distance there are a number of old towns which can only be described as artistic 'jewels': Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, Spoleto, Todi, and Spello are indispensable stopping-off points for anyone interested in the beauties of the past. The program will be held at the University for Foreigners in Perugia which specializes in Italian as a second language. The faculty consists of established native Italian professors of Italian language, literature, history, art history, and economics. At the university, students will have access to the extensive library, linguistic and computer laboratories, a canteen, the University Social Center with free organized concerts, shows, and films, and a university health center open for all students.
