You are considered a Visiting Student if you are currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree-seeking program at another college/university (including institutions outside of the US) and wish to broaden your education by attending a semester or year at The American University of Rome.

As a Visiting Student, you will have the unique experience to study in an international setting with students from around the world. We accept Visiting Students for our Spring and Fall semesters and Summer short terms.

Students return to their home institutions enriched and inspired by the distinctive AUR experience. They go on to become globally conscious leaders and ambassadors for cross-cultural understanding. During your semester or year at AUR, we work hard to ensure that your university experience is rewarding and innovative.
