Gonzaga-in-Florence will be offering an engineering semester beginning spring of 2010. Specially designed to give engineering sophomores the opportunity to study abroad, the track allows students to take basic engineering courses while supporting academic goals.

THIS STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM IS OPEN TO GONZAGA & NON-GONZAGA STUDENTS - S P R I N G S E M E S T E R

Study abroad with Gonzaga-in-Florence and stay on track with your engineering goals! See firsthand the great engineering feat of the Italian Renaissance - Brunelleschi's Dome. Explore the city of Florence, a living testament to the skill of the people who, without the aid of modern tools and technology, created buildings that are still standing today. Courses taught in English No language requirement Select from over 50 courses in other disciplines	AT-A-GLANCE	QUICK LINKS
