Option III Program: What students say

“Option III proved to be a huge challenge, which was what I needed to boost my language proficiency. I experienced the Italian University more or less as an Italian, and I was fortunate to study with outstanding professors, extremely knowledgeable in their fields… the art history courses fit exactly into my desired path of studies for Graduate School.”

“Through the Option III Program, I have been able to raise my level of Italian up to practically fluent, so that I was able to read academic texts with ease and speak appropriately for my final oral exams at the University of Florence. I’m now equipped I believe to undertake studies in Italian at the graduate level.”

“What I enjoyed about Option III was meeting with the tutors every week to review class lecture notes, readings, and to prepare for the final oral exams. Meeting with the tutors permitted me to ask specific questions ranging from vocabulary to logistic queries such as where to get books. Thanks to Option III, I was able to design my own personal program of study that was totally in the Italian language.”
