The rich cultural diversity and regional identities of Italy, “il Bel Paese”, are rarely reflected in an equal variety of study abroad options offered by North American colleges and universities to their students, who are usually expected to choose among a limited portfolio of traditional destinations in Italy. Thanks to its size and history as a city of trade and exchanges, Syracuse offers students from around the globe the possibility to meaningfully immerse in the local community and engage with a wide array of perspectives, thus avoiding the “international student bubble” effect.
As an independent institution in Southern Italy with a distinct community-centered approach and focus on quality program management, the Syracuse Academy meets the criteria to become a valuable addition to any study abroad destination portfolio.
Becoming a Syracuse Academy affiliate is a straightforward process, simply contact us to find how you can add the Syracuse Academy as an approved destination to your institutions destination portfolio. Both your students and your institution will benefit from the advantages of becoming a Syracuse Academy Affiliate:
– Dedicated Scholarships and Reduced Rates on Tuition Fees
– Streamlined application and course enrolment processes
