Semester in the Mediterranean

Program Description

The Semester in the Mediterranean is a program based on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus that combines a traditional immersion study abroad experience with educational travel to Greece, Italy and Spain*, with a co-curricular focus on Mediterranean cultures.

Students will experience Athens, Rome, Pisa, Florence, Venice and Barcelona* on the travel component of this program. The travel component does not impact the classroom schedule and is combined with co-curricular material relating to Mediterranean culture.

In Cyprus, students enroll in a full semester of coursework at the University of Nicosia (our host institution). Students are eligible to select up to five courses (15 credit-hours) from the 64 different accredited programs of study at the University of Nicosia.
