It’s known for bachelor of arts programs in communications, history, arts and design, business administration, English literature, international affairs, international business, and more.

Campus Life
The JCU campus is tucked into the historic Trastevere neighborhood, featuring beautiful facilities like the Guarini and Pavoncello campuses. Students have access to the Frohring Library, high-tech computer labs, and the welcoming Tiber Cafe, which serves as a central hub for meeting friends between classes.
Outside the campus gates, you are in the "Eternal City." Rome offers an unmatched backdrop for your studies, where ancient ruins, world-class museums, and vibrant piazzas are just a short walk or tram ride away from your lecture hall. Living in Rome adds a whole new layer to campus life because you’re surrounded by history, art, and everyday Italian culture.

At JCU, students don’t just spend time in the lecture halls. You have many opportunities to get involved outside the classroom, like joining clubs or sports teams. The Student Life office also organizes cultural trips across Italy, food tours, and community service projects, ensuring you stay engaged with the local Roman culture while developing essential leadership skills alongside your peers. The university also offers strong support services, including orientation programs and health and well-being resources, to help students settle in. Because of its international student community, it’s easy to meet people from different backgrounds and build connections that go beyond your time at university.
Housing
JCU offers on-campus and off-campus housing options that help international students transition smoothly into Roman life.
