Dickinson College
Dickinson College hosts two programs in Bologna. Students may spend a full academic year in Italy, or take part in a language-intensive Summer Immersion Program. Named in honor of its first director, the K. Robert Nilsson Center for European Studies in Bologna was established in 1965 and, over the years, it has drawn students from many universities around the United States who want to undertake serious study of Europe. Courses at the Dickinson Center are taught by faculty from Bologna and by the Center’s resident director, a member of the Dickinson faculty. The curriculum focuses on Europe and includes courses in international relations, history, economics, sociology, political science, fine arts and Italian studies. Independent study that focuses on a specific research topic is also a possibility. IWF member since 2004.
