The Ivy Summer in Rome program allows Iowa State business students to experience core coursework in an engaging international setting. Over five weeks, students take accelerated business classes in a dedicated Iowa State building in Rome, benefiting from smaller class sizes that promote closer relationships with peers and professors.
Students live together in apartments, fostering a sense of community. Faculty support extends beyond academics, assisting with personal matters and health issues. The program includes trips to notable Italian businesses, providing real-world insights into business operations and regulations.
In their free time, students explore Italy, visiting key historical sites and cities. Participants emphasize the transformative nature of the experience, encouraging others to step out of their comfort zones. The program significantly enriches their college experience and broadens their worldviews. More information can be found on the Iowa State website.
