Academic excellence is one of the signature elements of Syracuse University in Florence (SUF). Professors who are international experts in their fields transmit their knowledge to students through innovative teaching and academic rigor. At SUF we believe that education is not just a way of gathering knowledge from the past, but also knowing how to apply it to today’s world. Students will better understand the culture and people of Contemporary Italy once they have understood their past.

SUF courses range from the art and architecture of Roman to contemporary Florence, from the language and literature of Dante and Petrarch to Italo Calvino, from medieval and Renaissance history and economy to the contemporary transformation of the European economy and government. Our carefully-structured programs are organized to help students get the most out of their international experience, provide them with basic tools for life, gain a deeper understanding of oneself and others and prepare them for their final academic destination: a professional career.
