Our I-Explore field trips are open to all students (except those enrolled in the School of Architecture, who have their own) and all costs (excluding meals) are covered by the program fee. These trips are distinct from those related to courses (see below) and allow students to travel with experienced lecturers to places that are hard to reach and enjoy without the support of an organized trip.
I-Explore trips include tours within Florence as well as day trips throughout Tuscany and nearby regions to exciting destinations like the Dolomites, Lake Garda, Turin, and Trieste to name a few. The emphasis is on intimate, boutique-like experiences – doing, trying, tasting, smelling, observing – as students learn about everything from the food and culture to the art and history of each place.
Sign-ups take place shortly before arrival in Italy.
Course-Related Field Studies
Many courses include one or more course-related field study trips that are an integral, mandatory part of the class. The cost of these trips is included in the course fee, which will be billed to students’ bursar account.
