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.

Spring 2019 Participant
My experience as a student with UGA Cortona not only helped me grow as an artist, student, and person but it also gave me a group of friends I am now able to call my family. This place and these people become a part of you, one that you will always want to go back to.

Take every opportunity you have to experience something new, you won't regret it!

Spring 2020 Participant
Though I knew that this trip would change me as a person, nothing could have equipped me for the amount of growth, love, and happiness that came from being in Cortona. My peers, teachers, and environment very literally changed my life, and this experience is one I will miss and appreciate every single day. As a whole, this program will in all likelihood be my most treasured experience and gift from UGA, and that is saying a lot, as UGA has already afforded me some of my happiest times.

The bonds I formed with the other students. The town of Cortona is beautiful and making friends with the locals made the experience all the more authentic.
