Global water impacts through 意大利 partnerships.

Study abroad program in Rome and Perugia

OWOW offers an annual study abroad program to 意大利 with our partner university, Università per Stranieri di Perugia. 不到两周, students can earn three elective credits through this class taught partly in Rome and partly in Perugia, a picturesque Umbrian town approximately two hours northeast of 意大利’s capital.

开放 to undergraduate students (from 密歇根州立大学丹佛 or other universities) as well as non-degree-seeking participants, the course explores 意大利’s water history from the aqueducts to the present day. A focus is on 意大利’s agricultural (and wine!) heritage, building, and celebrating links between 意大利 and Colorado.
