COURSE CREDITS
Some students from the Summer 2012 Rome session applied for credits from their home schools and received university credit from schools in the US and Australia. The Rome Art Program is an independent organization currently unaffiliated with a credit-granting institution, however, we provide assistance in obtaining credits from a student's home institution. Advanced planning is highly recommended to increase the likelihood of your coursework being applied to fulfill requirements in your major, minor, or General Education. Please research your university's credit requirements thoroughly before seeking credit approval. With signed approval from your university, you will receive an evaluation from us upon completion of coursework. **For detailed information click on Course Credits page.
