Courses
Both fall and spring semester programs are open to students of all majors. Meredith students who participate in the Italy semester program can completely fulfill the foreign language general education requirement. Programs offer a full semester of general education credits taught by local Italian experts, along with special discipline-specific courses taught by rotating Meredith Faculty in Residence.
Community Engagement
Meredith has been part of the Sansepolcro community for more than 20 years. You will contribute to this legacy through service-learning projects in local elementary schools and regular dinners with host families. Some families in Sansepolcro have been hosting Meredith students for over 15 years.
Travel Opportunities
As part of the program, you will complete a one-credit “Learn to Travel/Travel to Learn” course to become a confident international traveler. The Sansepolcro semester programs also includes group excursions and built-in independent travel breaks, where you may apply your skills and explore Italy or other countries in Europe.
