Most of the courses are taught in English, with several electives also available in Italian for advanced speakers. Furthermore, Italian language courses are available for students with a beginning through advanced level of proficiency. Courses will be taught by local and international faculty. Upon program completion, students will receive a transcript from the Florence University of the Arts.

Most universities accept transcripts from the Florence University of the Arts. If your home institution has confirmed that it will not accept an official transcript from FUA and requires one to come from a US university, ISA works with the University of San Diego (USD) as our school of record. You must notify ISA immediately if you will require a school of record transcript from USD. There is a fee associated with this option. Please note that certain courses are not available for credit for students requesting a transcript from USD.
