Students in Rome

Explore the Eternal City

Rome is one of the most incredible cities on earth. It was once the capital of the world and stands at the center of the University of Mary's Christian, Catholic, and Benedictine tradition. Walk the streets that martyrs trod, see the ruins of the palace of the emperors, gaze upon the works of Michelangelo and Caravaggio, and visit the places where Saint Benedict himself lived.

At Mary, we aim to educate our students on how to be leaders in the service of truth, and they can come to know and understand the truth about the world and themselves through a living encounter with history and faith at the very heart of Christianity. Come study in Rome and have a first-hand encounter with everything that makes the University of Mary "joyfully Christian, faithfully Catholic, and gratefully Benedictine."

​​Benjamin Helget, ‘21, studied at the University of Mary’s Rome Campus. In this video, he shares about his experience studying in Rome and also traveling through Europe during his time abroad.

Studying abroad in Rome was the most formative experience I have ever been a part of! Rome provided an atmosphere, which allowed my greatest dreams to arise, my studies to become real, and for my passions to flourish! Rome forever becomes a part of your heart.

An Opportunity Like No Other

Spend a semester or a summer studying in the heart of Italy, the “Eternal City” of Rome!”

  • A home to call your own in a quiet neighborhood, just a bus ride from Saint Peter's Square.
  • A program that integrates academics, faith, and community.
  • In the fall and spring, tuition, room, and board costs are the same in Rome as they are on our main campus, and scholarships and financial aid awards still apply. All you need to do is cover a program fee for academic excursions, buy your plane ticket, and go!
    If you're planning to spend a month in Rome during the Maymester, reach out to the Office of Global Studies for pricing.

What are you waiting for? It's time to sign up for a semester or a month in Rome. Let's go! Or, as the Italians would say, “Andiamo!”

My experience in Rome and in Europe has opened my eyes to how big the world is. There is so much history and Rome is a never-ending adventure. It is crazy to think you are amongst some of the holiest sites in the world.
