  • have a cumulative B average or better and a B average in Italian
  • are a sophomore, junior, or senior
  • complete ITAL 2201 or the equivalent -- higher proficiency is preferred and will enable the student to have more options in Bologna.  [NOTE: A&S students must complete ITAL 2202 prior to studying in Italy].

College-specific Requirements

Colleges may have specific requirements for study abroad such as GPA, prior study at Cornell, ability to study abroad in your final semester, etc. Learn about your college's policies.

For example, your college may have a higher GPA requirement for approval than what is required by the program itself. Most notably, students in Arts & Sciences must fulfill language requirements prior to studying abroad for a semester.
