Overview

The College of Design's Department of Architecture and the University of Roma Tre's Department of Architecture participate in a reciprocal exchange agreement. This exchange program is available to undergraduate architecture students during the spring of their third or fourth year.

The Program seeks to broaden the scope of the academic curriculum and to provide a unique learning experience in an overseas environment, as well as to promote co-operation between the two institutions. More specifically, the goals of the Program are:

1) to promote scholarly activities
2) to foster mutual understanding in areas of professional interest
3) to gain better understanding of the teaching process and teaching philosophy in the field of architecture in both countries
4) to facilitate broader cross-cultural links among students and professionals from both countries.
