This unique program is an extraordinary opportunity for sixth
year Pharmacy students to take part in a four-week program
during the fall semester while staying on track for your Pharmacy
degree! This program will take you to Rome, Italy for
four weeks during the fall semester as part of your regular
four-week rotations. In this time you will have
the opportunity to experience European culture and
politics, while allowing you to pursue your regular Pharmacy
coursework. Through our academic offerings and service activities,
you'll encounter extraordinary opportunities to engage with the
people and cultures of modern Europe. Above all, you'll build a
stronger academic portfolio by living and learning abroad. Our
vibrant academics and onsite learning are the hallmarks of Global
Studies Programs.
The Rome option will allow you to complete a rotation on a Friday
in New York, then travel to Rome over the weekend and start your
Rome coursework on the following Tuesday. After completion of the
Rome module, you will be able to return over the weekend and begin
your next rotation on the following Monday. If you schedule your
rotations so that you have a “free" period either before or after
the scheduled class in Rome, you will be able to remain in Europe
traveling and enjoying the region. Upon returning from Europe, you
will be required to complete the rest of your coursework.
Please note your Dean will advise you accordingly.
Some of the most exciting learning experiences will take
place outside the classroom. Celebrate mass at St. Peter's or
travel on weekends. Classes are generally
scheduled Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with service
opportunities and trips scheduled Monday and
Friday. Spend the weekend studying, traveling and
discovering the country on your own.
This special program includes a tour of historic pharmacies
throughout Rome as well as organized activities and service
programs especially designed for pharmacy students.
Please apply via UIS.
