Spring is magic in Florence

The weather turns warm, the honeysuckle and wisteria bloom, and it’s definitely time for gelato! SAfL 15-week semester students at FUA select multiple elective courses from the wide range of offerings for a total of 12 - 15 credits. (Those with less time can attend our 11-week semester at FUA for 9-12 credits.) In addition to typical liberal arts courses, FUA includes such courses as Travel Writing, Pairing Food and Wine, Fashion Design, and Science of Happiness. Semester students have opportunities to pair academic coursework with internships and unique experiential learning courses for hands-on experience.
