How does modern society balance environmental preservation and ethics with competing forces like immigration, urbanization, and growth? By combining theoretical concepts and practical case studies, this program allows you to engage with topical global issues and gain insight into environmental and business ethics, interactions between human and ecological systems, consequences of urbanization, values of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural societies, and why people plant new roots in a different country. Enhance your understanding of lessons learned in the classroom with visits to entrepreneurs, refugee organizations, eco-sites, and local businesses, and take an Italian language course to facilitate your engagement with local culture.

Where You'll Study

Students take classes at the CEA CAPA Rome Center, and optionally at the Providence College Center. The CEA CAPA Rome Center is in the vibrant Prati neighborhood, within walking distance of Vatican City, Castel Sant’Angelo, and other UNESCO World Heritage sites. This central location makes it easy to visit galleries, museums, art studios, local businesses, historic sites, food markets, and more—all designed to bring lessons taught in the classroom to life. Our unique collaboration with Providence College allows you to take courses at the Providence College Center and study theology and religion in the very heart of Christendom. Long a religious and cultural crossroads, Rome is the ideal place to delve into religious studies as you explore significant sites such as St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Catacombs of Santa Priscilla. Students will receive a transcript from CEA CAPA’s School of Record, and - if opted for a PC course – also from Providence College upon completion of their program.
