Benvenuti!
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.

Program Reviews:
Spring 2017 Participant
Cortona is a unforgettable place to live.

Spring 2016 Participant
I always felt safe when travelling with the group, and liked that the program encouraged people to travel together and never alone.

Meredith Hope Farina, Spring 2016 Participant
I never realized how beneficial a semester abroad during my freshman year could be until I experienced it. Studying abroad, particularly so early in my college career, broadened my horizons and pushed me to take opportunities out of my comfort zone in order to learn valuable lessons and become a better student.

It did make me want to explore the world more. I applied to this program on a whim and I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it, but now I defiantly want to see more of the world.
