The Auburn University Core Curriculum Program in Rome, Italy, offers students an opportunity to complete two core curriculum courses over five weeks in a beautiful international setting. Students will take two of the five AU core curriculum courses offered in communications, geosciences, math, and/or political science for a total of six to eight credit hours while studying in the University of Arkansas Rome Center.
