Sicily, Italy
The program is located in Catania, the second largest city on the island. Catania is on the eastern side of the island between the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna, Europe's highest volcano. It is an ancient, medieval and Baroque city that is off-the-beaten-path from many study abroad programs.
Housing
Students are housed in a newly renovated Italian student dorm within an easy walk or short bus ride to the University of Catania and other sites within the city.
Student Life
The program is based at the University of Catania. Various extra-curricular activities will be offered, all of which are intended to expose students to different aspects of Italian culture and society and/or engage them with Italian students and peers.
On-Site Support
The usual faculty complement to the Program is a Professor-in-Charge and Associate Professor. Support will be provided both by Duke University and CET Academic Programs.
