Still thinking about studying abroad this year? Not sure how long you want to be away? Think about joining the Italian Program for a trip to Sicily, Italy, to study how and why Italian products are considered to be amongst the most desired internationally.
May 9-23, 2026
Learn about Italian products: Why does MADE IN ITALY interest consumers internationally? Why are customers willing to pay a higher price if the product is made in Italy? Join us in Taormina, Sicily, to explore these questions and more!
Explore the 5 "A"s: Abbigliamento (clothes), Agroalimentare (food & wine), Arredamento (furniture & design), Automazione (automobiles & machinery) and Artigianato (artisanal).
Delve into experiential learning: This class will be split between lectures, seminars and 12 onsite lessons, along with two UNESCO site visits. Taught in English; 3 credits.
Applications are due Jan. 15.
Questions: email Dr. Calabretta-Sajder (calabret@uark.edu).
Scholarships are available for Italian majors and minors.
