Fall 2021 Study Abroad in Prato
We are moving forward with Fall 2021 at the Tuscany Campus in Italy as planned. With widespread availability of several highly effective COVID-19 vaccines, we can now see a light at the end of the tunnel, not just at home but also in Europe.
We are looking forward to being able to return to many of our pre-pandemic norms in terms of experiential classes, international student life, travel, engagement with the host community, and many other staples of the University of New Haven Tuscany Campus experience. As global travel becomes possible, the campus in Italy can once more offer our students massive academic, professional and personal advantages, as it has done for well over a thousand of them since opening in 2012.
The Tuscany Campus recognizes that this is a challenging time to make decisions about studying abroad, but our highest priority is the health and safety of our students and we will continue to review public health and travel advisory guidance leading up to and throughout the Fall semester. Please know that we are committed to communicating frequently and transparently as conditions change. Please review this section of the website thoroughly, and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you may have.
