We got to go through some back room type places in the Vatican museums but also had to brave the crowds. We were prepared by a lecture on Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and another on Raphael’s Stanze. In seminars students were reading either Dante or Vergil which both seemed to fit in here. Our fearless students powered through a long day here without complaining, for which I am grateful. 🙏🏼 #romeinstituteofliberalarts #uta #sjc

Students were meditative at a couple of our stops on our Constantine focused excursion. These pictures are from Santi Quattro Coronati and the Lateran. The compound at Santi Quattro feels like being outside the city, and the requirement of being silent there makes the experience different from other places in Rome. The Lateran is a much bigger and more of a public space, but the vastness of it creates a quiet atmosphere there too. Beautiful places to stop and reflect. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta

Just getting started with the summer program, did a little informal visit with a few students to the Villa Farnesina. Still astonished every time I see it by the illusionism in the fake architecture and the “sotto in su” figures by Raphael, Giulio Romano and others here. A couple of other pictures from the walk home. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta #rila

Just getting started with the summer program, did a little informal visit with a few students to the Villa Farnesina. Still astonished every time I see it by the illusionism in the fake architecture and the “sotto in su” figures by Raphael, Giulio Romano and others here.

Admissions

Admission requirements, application procedures, deadlines, tuition, financial aid, and more.

Undergraduate Courses

Discussion based classes on philosophy, literature, and history are designed together with excursions led by art historians. RILA classes will go on a number of excursions each week. At least one excursion will take us outside of Rome…

Student life

Small practical details can make the difference during your time in Rome. We have thought about them all. Getting informed about them will help you plan ahead.

Locations


Students will be accommodated in a student house located in a quaint and trendy residential neighborhood right next to the historic center, making possible daily exploration of all the historic areas of Rome. Classrooms are at walking distance from students' housing.
