Since 1970, the UGA Cortona Program, located in rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy, has been a leader in education abroad. It is UGA's oldest study abroad program calling the town of Cortona home for nearly 50 years. Today, UGA Cortona offers a variety of core courses including English, Psychology, Art History, Women's Studies, Photography, Science, and Business. This is in addition to an extensive list of beginning, intermediate and advanced-level Studio Art courses which makes up the bulk of our course offerings. No knowledge of the Italian Language is necessary; however, a number of our UGA Cortona Programs do offer ITAL courses. All students who participate on our programs will have the opportunity to earn UGA credit while enjoying the beautiful Tuscany, along with excursions to other Italian cities.  
 
There are many general study abroad scholarships available, including substantial need-based program-specific scholarships.

For full program details, please view the UGA Cortona website.

Sydney Yael Ruben, Maymester 2018 Participant
My teacher, Ray Paolino, was especially helpful in getting us immersed in the local culture! He took us to the local market, on a tour when we first arrived, to cooking classes, etc...

Maria Isabella Ravry McDevitt, Maymester 2018 Participant
Cortona will forever hold a piece of my heart! The experience, the friends I made, the food I tried, and the places I visited all added up to me having the best month of my life! Before I went, I knew no one in my program, but before I knew it, my roommate became one of my closest friends. Cortona itself is so safe and the locals are very nice and welcoming. Don't think, just go! I promise that going to Cortona will not disappoint.

Definitely take the opportunity. You get to learn about a rich and storied culture, view beautiful art pieces, and indulge in incredible food. The people in Cortona and wonderful and is the perfect town for tourists. It's not in your face but still allows you to immerse yourself in the country. I can't see any downside to taking this trip.
