Employers
increasingly seek significant international experience in
job candidates.
Now you can get that experience without
slowing your progress in the J-School and the University.
Spend a semester in Paderno del
Grappa, Italy, at the campus of Consortium International
University (a group of more than 30 universities coordinated
by the University of Kansas).
A semester in Italy might change your life -- for the better!
KU students talk about it in these postcards
from Italy.
For full details about costs, timetables, course listings,
enrollment and more, see the Consortium
Web site.
Travel
The semester schedule includes two one-week travel breaks.
Students are encouraged to use one of the breaks for study-related
travel. In addition, three long weekends typically are scheduled
during the programs.
Convenient rail connections from Venice allow visits to locations
in Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and many European
countries. Winter weekend ski trips give students a chance
to ski some of the best slopes in Europe, and the summer beaches
near Venice are considered among the best in Europe.
Location
The campus is in Paderno del
Grappa, nestled in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains
about 45 miles north of Venice. It is a full-service campus
with numerous classrooms, a 450-person theater, a large student
cafeteria, dormitory rooms, computer and language labs and
modern athletic facilities, including an indoor swimming pool,
a weight room and a gymnasium.
Enrollment and Scholarships
Students get direct course credit at the University of Kansas.
(The Consortium will work with students from other member
universities to secure appropriate transfer credit or to provide
for direct credit at their home institution if possible.)
Students should check for the availability of scholarships
and financial aid.
