To date, the program has resulted in 12 published research papers-all co-authored by past program participants. Upon arrival in Florence, you will engage in an FUA lecture course, Food, Culture, and Community, which will highlight key Italian cultural and community concepts, and Directed Research Hours, which will train you in graduate-level research practices (e.g., study conceptualization, qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, manuscript composition and professional presentation delivery, various computer and software programs, and more!). We will travel to different cities and regions in Italy for one week while making our way to Florence. Our program will start in Rome with a Cultural Introduction to Italy field experience travel week, where we will engage with FUA faculty and students from across the world while learning about Italian history, culture, language, policy, cuisine, and so much more. You will participate in courses instructed by both Purdue University and Florence University of the Arts (FUA) faculty. The program allows you to interact with a diverse mix of students, engage in remarkable learning opportunities, and achieve extraordinary global education and growth through exposure to experiential and cultural activities. This study abroad program is an immersive, 7-week, 9-credit-hour experience, which provides you with unique interdisciplinary and research-based learning. I invite you to join me as we explore a deep awareness of cultural unity, regional healthcare, and community diversity in Italy while mastering research skills.
