John Cabot University
The Sacred Heart University Freshman Fall in Rome program is located at our partner institution,
John Cabot University. John Cabot University, an accredited American University, is located along the banks of the Tiber River in the vibrant Trastevere quarter — historically known as the artists’ district — on the grounds of the prestigious Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei where Galileo once lived and worked.
The University combines the academic quality of an independent, accredited university while giving you the services and care of a study abroad program. JCU is an American university so you will find the academic structure similar to a university in the U.S. John Cabot University faculty, staff, and students are proud to be part of an American university overseas with a unique and friendly student population of Italians, Americans, and international students.
Small cobblestone streets and outdoor cafes characterize the neighborhood surrounding JCU, which makes it a perfect place to study and meet with friends as you enjoy the historic center of Rome. View
