Design Schools in Rome

The School

The College of Design Rome Program offers an optional course of study for qualified students in various disciplines within the college.
The college’s flagship international program has given more than 1000 students the opportunity to study in Rome since its inception in 1991. It is the only fully licensed study-abroad program in the Iowa Regents’ system.

Full-semester study options are available for graphic design and interior design (fall) and architecture (spring) students. Each summer studio arts students can study in Rome, and in alternate summers programs for landscape architecture (2009) and community and regional planning (2010) students are offered. Qualified students from other colleges at ISU or from other institutions of higher education are also welcome to enroll in the summer session. Iowa State University faculty members and European lecturers teach students in English.

Location

Palazzo Cenci Bolognetti, in which our ISU College of Design Rome Program is now located, is, like the city of Rome itself, the result of several layers of history and numerous transformations. In its present appearance it dates mostly to the period from the late 16th to the late 17th century, when it was built on and around a cluster of medieval houses and towers, constructed, in turn, on an artificial mound of Roman ruins, known as monte dei Cenci.
