Curriculum</strong>, providing for maximum flexibility. Students can create an academic program that best meets their needs and interests. Semester students may enroll for up to 17 credits, which must include Umbra’s Italian language and culture course called Living Perugia. Students fluent in Italian may opt for other course options. Students interested in the MPP or FSE Certificate programs must also take a mandatory 1-credit core course.</p> <h5><span style="color: #75917a; font-size: 18pt;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Semester Curriculum</span></h5> <p><img loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-55607 alignleft" src="https://www.umbra.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/check-icon-small.jpg" alt="" width="21" height="21">ITAL 101-301: Italian Language & Culture course – 4 credits</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-55607 alignleft" src="https://www.umbra.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/check-icon-small.jpg" alt="" width="21" height="21">Three to Four Elective Courses – 9-12 credits </p> <p><img loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-55607 alignleft" src="https://www.umbra.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/check-icon-small.jpg" alt="" width="21" height="21">Core Course (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">MPP and FSE students only</span>) – 1 credit </p> <p><strong>Total: 13-17 credits</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Students who are uncertain of their proficiency level in Italian, select the course that they feel is most suitable on their course selection form.

And, all iStudy courses follow precisely the Umbra academic calendar – start, end, midterms, and finals – so you complete all your courses – entirely during your semester at Umbra. One-on-one remote sessions with the professor provide a level of personalized learning and interaction not possible with traditional remote learning. <strong><a style="color: #75917a;" href="/istudy-online-courses/" data-darkreader-inline-color="">View our iStudy course offerings.</a></strong></span><br /> </span></p> <h1><span style="color: #75917a; font-size: 18pt;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Scholars Research Program</span></h1> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Scholars Program offers students the chance to maximize their study abroad experience by engaging in an individualized research project under the mentorship of an Umbra Institute professor and utilizing the unique resources of Perugia and the surrounding region. The goal is to push students to expand their intellectual and personal boundaries to explore, discover, learn, and create new ideas in an international setting. Features of the Scholars Program include enriching coursework and field experiences, enhanced cultural immersion, and collaboration with other highly motivated students. <span style="color: #75917a;"
