Summer Programs
The Pantheon Institute offers an exciting 4 or 8 week session Architecture Summer Programs. Complete an entire semester’s worth of studio and design study in just two months! Or spend 4-weeks in a concentrated program to get a head start on the next academic year.
Our Architecture Studio course is taught as a vertical studio, open to students at a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year undergraduate level, and for both BA and BArch degree tracks. Participants all focus on a joint topic of interest and a shared end-of-session review. The professor will engage with students individually to ensure their work is aligned with their degree program requirements.
These programs also have the option for a 3-day academic field trip that brings the classroom to life throughout the Italian peninsula.
Students may choose from the courses listed below based on which session they enroll into. For a summer session, students may enroll in up to 7 credits for the 4-week program or 12 credits for the 8-week program. Italian language courses are not required.
