Rome Study Center
Accent's Rome
Our Neighborhood
Located in the heart of Rome’s historic center, Accent is in the Piazza dell’Orologio. Close to historic monuments and museums, it is an ideal starting point for walking to on-site lectures, as well as to local coffee and lunch spots where the shop owners quickly learn students’ names and favorite orders.
The Study Center
Located within the 17th century Palazzo Bennicelli, our Study Center features restored original details and frescoed ceilings. Unique features include a teaching kitchen for cooking classes, demonstrations, and courses exploring Italy’s food history and culture, as well as ample space for studio-based courses in architecture, art, and design.
Global Learning in Rome
Each year, our Rome team develops and supports more than 40 global education programs tailored for our partners such as the University of California Education Abroad Program, University of Southern California, Kenyon College, University of Minnesota, University of Colorado Boulder, Loyola Marymount University, and Texas A&M among many more. Accent works to create truly unique, substantive programs built for today’s driven and diverse students. Academic highlights include:
- Civil engineering, geology, and other STEM disciplines
- Creative economies for students in business, communication and the art with a focus on Rome as a historical and modern creative capital
- Communication, media, and journalism with courses exploring investigative journalism, communication strategy for the Vatican, and media portrayals of the migrant crisis
