THE U.S. LIBERAL ARTS TRADITION
The Bachelor of Arts degree in the American liberal arts tradition
values both breadth of study as well as specialization within a
major field. For breadth of study, students complete proficiency
requirements in English, mathematics, and foreign language,
as well as general distribution requirements in mathematics,
science, social sciences, humanities, and the fine arts. For
specialization, students complete core courses and elective
classes in a major field of study. Students may complement
their major with a minor area of study.
To complete the Bachelor of Arts degree, students must accumulate
120 American credits, the equivalent of 240 European Credit
Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits. Students
normally take five courses per semester and complete their degree
in four years. Students who come from secondary school systems
with13 years of study, or who have advanced credit, e.g., IB, AP,
or A-Levels, may enter with some credits and finish in less than
four years.
John Cabot accepts transfer credits from students who have
already begun university studies elsewhere and who wish to
continue their studies at John Cabot. The University accepts
transfer credits from U.S. regionally accredited universities, and
from universities recognized by the higher education authority of

learning, public debate, and thoughtful contributions to the community

and present the results of their own research in well-written essays.

Italian language. The context of an American liberal arts university exposes
students to many fields of study and ways of approaching intellectual problems
related to Italy, while the University’s Italian setting provides a tangible understanding
of the multifaceted realities of Italian culture.
Italian Studies majors accrue the unparalleled benefits of studying in Italy’s centrally
located capital, including the opportunity to travel throughout the country and take
advantage of internships that require a working knowledge of Italian language
and culture. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, the Italian Studies major is

LIVING IN ROME
Neighborhoods in Rome are like small villages within the big city,
each with its own character and life. Students are housed in
various neighborhoods of Rome - Trastevere, near the Vatican,
or up the Gianicolo Hill - all a short walk or bus ride away. Some
students live in shared apartments off-campus, while others live
in the University’s dormitory. All housing comes fully furnished
with a kitchen and basic appliances such as washing machines.
John Cabot has a meal plan which provides meals at our Tiber Cafe.
John Cabot University Housing employs student Resident
Assistants (RAs) who live in University housing. RAs organize
study groups, trips, and dinners along with other social activities,
and provide peer-to-peer support for new students to ease their
integration into the John Cabot community.

EXPLORING ROME AND BEYOND
Living and studying in Rome is a truly unique experience and
appreciated not only by those who come from afar and are in Rome
for the first time, but also by our local Roman students who know
this city as their home. It is a city that belongs to the world.
Rome is also a modern, vibrant city for university students. There
are movie theaters, operas, and open-air rock and jazz concerts.
There are piazzas, cafes, and shopping malls. Numerous cultural
events, lectures, and street performances take place daily.
While all roads lead to Rome, you may also want to travel. Rome
is just a short train or plane ride to some of the most magnificent
historic European cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid,
Berlin, Brussels, and Geneva. And, for the intrepid traveler, the
fascinating cities of Marrakech, Istanbul, Moscow, and Dubai
are within reach.
