CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange) is a long-time leader of study abroad programming founded in 1947 and currently with centers in all corners of the world. Its center in Rome is located in a beautifully renovated 19th c. palazzo just steps from the Capitoline Hill and a short commute to the urban campus of its local partner, Roma Tre - one of the city's top public research universities. Thanks to this partnership, CIEE offers students of all majors the opportunity of taking classes with dynamic English-speaking professors both at Roma Tre and its academic center at Piazza di Campitelli.

At least one other course will be taken at CIEE's academic center. The remaining course(s) may be taken at Roma Tre. 
Upon their return to Holy Cross, students are highly encouraged to continue their language learning with the Italian Studies Department and/or enroll in upper-level electives (whether in English or Italian).

Preferred MajorsCISS, English Language & Literature, EnviSci, History, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Sociology, VAST. All other majors welcome, pending program capacity
Maximum capacity/Program caps: academic-year study has no caps on enrollment; semester-long study is capped at 5 students/semester

Note: Because we can only send 5 students, maximum, per semester regardless of applicant volume, we will make every effort to balance the fall and spring semesters, giving preference to a student's academic major (see above: "Preferred Majors"). In the event that we receive more applications than available openings or need to shift students from one semester to another, we will select participants with the highest GPAs in their respective majors during their preferred semester. It is advisable that interested students give serious consideration to their Alternate Program Choice when applying to CIEE Rome/Roma Tre in order to maximize their opportunities for studying abroad.
