Testimonials
"Studying in Italy allowed me to fully immerse myself in the art, history, and design of architecture. Experiencing Urbino firsthand, as well as iconic cities like Rome, Milan, and Florence, was truly transformative, and it allowed me to connect with Italian culture and study the intricate details of historic architecture up close. During my time abroad, I focused on strengthening my design perspective and used photography to capture the still moments of art and architecture that inspired me every day."
"What reignited my passion was the opportunity to attend my first professional opera and to study under one of the greatest musicians I’ve ever worked with. With guidance from my Italian professor, I developed my voice into a more mature instrument and gained new confidence as an artist."
"Studying abroad opened my eyes and mind to the history and beauty of our world. It encouraged me to continue exploring and embracing new opportunities. If you’re considering studying abroad, I highly recommend it, this experience will truly be a highlight of your life"
"Working with the University of Urbino, beginning in 2010 we have constructed an amazing infrastructure to provide an immersive and life changing experience for those that take advantage of our opportunities in Italy. GSC Italy assists all UT San Antonio colleges in development of European centered activities to maximize the synergies among diverse disciplines. We work very hard to create programming that crosses disciplinary and cultural lines within our own UT San Antonio colleges and the University of Urbino."
-Dr. John Murphy, Executive Director of UT San Antonio Global Study Center Italy.
