Study at The American University of Rome - a simpler path to an international future, without the complexity of applying to or relocating to the U.S. or U.K.

The traditional path is getting harder...

Students across international schools in Italy are facing:

Increasingly competitive U.S./UK admissions
Standardized testing requirements
Rising costs and visa uncertainty
Political and cultural pressures 

There is another way forward

A U.S. degree - without leaving Europe

At AUR, you follow an American academic learning model - flexible, interdisciplinary, and globally recognized - while studying in Rome.

• U.S.-accredited degree
• International recognition
• Study Abroad in the States or Europe for one year (optional)
  
  and...
  
• No visa concerns
• No SAT / ACT
  
• Rolling admissions
• Financial Aid options
  

Rome is not the backdrop.
It’s part of your education.

At AUR, the city and continent are not backdrops but active learning environments. Courses regularly extend beyond the classroom into Rome’s museums, institutions, and neighborhoods, where students engage directly with primary sources, practitioners, and contemporary issues. 

Faculty integrate site visits, fieldwork, and project-based assignments that draw on the city’s cultural, political, and economic networks, while academic travel across Italy and Europe broadens this perspective into an international context. The result is an education grounded in lived experience where students develop the cultural fluency and practical insight needed to navigate a complex, interconnected world.

Giorgio A. (2025)

“Coming from an IB school, I was used to thinking internationally - but at AUR, that perspective became real. Studying in Rome, with students from around the world and professors who brought their subjects to life, made my AUR experience one that I don't think you get anywhere else.
