INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
In addition to the academic offerings, the American University of Rome has an Internship Program where selected students may be placed to work 150 hours per week during the semester in a company in Rome for which the student earns 3 credits. This highly selective program (some Italian is required) has been helpful in assisting students with finding jobs after graduation and is a much sought after item by most young graduates for their resumes. The Internship Program complements on-campus instruction and the University's desire to use the City of Rome as a classroom.
