  • Italy and Transnational Education
    1 ITALY AND TRANSNATIONAL EDUCATION By Gabriel Vignoli May 2004 This survey on Transnational Education (TNE) gives a set of information on how this issue has developed in relation to Italy in recent years. It consists of 4 chapters concerning: I. Italy as TNE importer II. Italy as TNE exporter III. International institutions operating in Italy IV. Italian regulations on TNE The survey reflects CIMEA's studies and research on the topic. I. ITALY AS A TNE IMPORTER The main typologies of imported TNE in Italy are: branch campuses, filiations, off-shore institutions, multinational corporate universities, distance learning and virtual universities. 1. Branch campuses A campus established in Italy by a foreign higher education institution. It offers its own educational programmes/qualifications, irrespective of the students' provenience. Examples of branch campuses in Italy are: * THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY - The Bologna Center, Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Bologna (U.S.A.) Web Site: http://www.jhubc.it * ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY, Rome Campus (U.S.A.) Web Site: http://new.stjohns.edu * THE LINK CAMPUS UNIVERSITY OF MALTA (Malta) It has a few special agreements with some Italian universities. Web Site: http://www.unilink.it 2. Filiations A peculiarity of Italy, mainly due to her unique cultural, artistic and architectural heritage, is to attract foreign students, at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level, wishing to deepen their knowledge in Italian art, architecture, design and culture lato sensu. The following list consists mainly of filiations of U.S. institutions which offer various programmes lasting from a few weeks to a full academic year.

    ROME ATHENAEUM ROME Summer, 2017 ARHI 3316 Art and ARCHITECTURE of ROME Summer Session II, 2017 John Cabot University, Via della Lungara 233, Roma, Italy 00165 Phone: John Cabot University +39 06 681 9121 Prof. Jo Anna Isaak [email protected] Italian phone: 338 874 4275 US Cell 212 929 7850 Course Description: This course will examine the art, architecture and culture of Rome through four epochs of the city's history: Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance/Baroque, and Modern. Rome once ruled the entire Mediterranean world, and its cultural legacy looms large in Western civilization. At the heart of this legacy is the city that gave its name to the ancient empire. For almost two thousand years, Rome has been more than a literal place; it has also been an icon of culture, expressing many different characters depending on the era. In the ancient world the city epitomized the earthly splendor of Roman civilization. In the Medieval period its political importance waned, and the city was reduced to a symbolic, spiritual center. In the Renaissance, Humanists and the Papacy sought to reclaim the city's Classical past and rework it into a new vision of the city as both spiritual and temporal "caput mundi," (head of the world). During the modern period Rome again sought to reclaim its ancient culture while embracing the latest innovation in technology and design. Contemporary Italian art has now moved onto to global stage. There is no better place to study art and architecture than Rome. During the day Rome will be our classroom as we experience first hand the art, architecture, and culture of the city’s history through the lens of its monuments.
