In November, I had the pleasure of traveling to Italy and visiting Marist College’s Florence campus. Marist College offers several 4-year undergraduate degrees along with a Florence Freshman Experience (FFE) in Florence. Their FFE is a full year opportunity for students wanting to take their 1st year core classes while living in Florence. Florence is the 2nd most sought after study abroad location in the world with it rich art history, museums, delicious food and beautiful country side.
“Marist College and Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici share a similar vision and mission in their approaches to education. These core values, of excellence in education, the importance of community, and the principle of service, are the foundation for this unique partnership. Drawing on the strengths of the study-abroad partnership, Marist set out to design a full degree program located at the Lorenzo de’ Medici campus. The Marist-LdM bachelor’s degree program was launched in 2006, as was the first four-year bachelor’s degree program in Florence. Marist-LdM now offers an entire university infrastructure, a place where students of all ages and interests can explore an international learning community.”
I was impressed with the facilities and living options for students. If you have students that are thinking about studying abroad or want to major in art, fashion design, digital media or museum studies, then Marist has a program for you.
this morning. ”These colleges all believe in second chances! With collaboration from counseling colleagues, Christie Theriot Woodfin, an educational consultant in Atlanta and expert on therapeutic placements, identified the following colleges as ones that fit students who may be emotionally fragile and/or have attended a therapeutic or emotional growth boarding school.” – insidecollege.com
