Founded in 1972, John Cabot University is licensed by the Department of Education of the State of Delaware, accredited by the Commission of Higher Education of the Middle States Association, and authorized by the Government of Italy to operate as an American four-year university in Italy.

Located in the heart of the Eternal City, in the beautiful compound of the Italian National Academy of Sciences, John Cabot is a unique place. It combines the best qualities of American liberal arts education, with the history and rich cultural heritage of Rome, a city that is at the same time one of the cradles of western civilization and a vibrant center of international life.

The University provides a wide range of student services and activities in support of the academic program, including theatre, opera and musical productions, cooking classes, as well as lectures, cultural visits and guided tours.

John Cabot University offers a number of theatrical opportunities for students - they even have their own theatre group, giving students the opportunity to perform in or contribute to English-speaking play productions. The university also hosts performances of an Italian theatre company called La Compagnia Urbana, which is a great chance for students to work on their Italian language comprehension. Finally, you can have the chance to write and perform in an Italian play production by taking the Italian Studies Theatre course.

Of course, you can't come to Rome and miss going to the opera! Each semester, John Cabot organizes discounted trips to Teatro Nazionale for productions such as La Nozze di Figaro and Il Rigoletto. During the summer sessions, you can take advantage of the warm weather to enjoy operas such as Il Turco in Italia and Aida at the beautiful and historic Terme di Caracella, one of the oldest and best preserved ancient thermal spas in Rome.

Most students look forward to doing some traveling while abroad. The Student Services staff is there to help you with your travel plans. They can provide information about local travel agencies that cater to JCU students. Recent destinations provided by local agencies and tour operators have included Tuscany, Siena, Perugia, Naples, Pompeii, Capri and beyond Italy, plus skiing, canoeing and mountain trekking adventures. You can also talk to the agencies and tour operators during Orientation Week.

In keeping with the Latin motto, mens sana in corpore sano (a sound mind in a healthy body), John Cabot provides students with a variety of athletic opportunities, including soccer teams, discounted memberships to neighborhood gyms and even belly dancing classes. The John Cabot Men's Gladiators Soccer Team is one of the 12 teams in the League of Roman Universities which competes every year from September to May, playing a standard 11-a-side game. The Women's Gladiators Soccer Team also plays in the Roman Universities League, which is composed of 6 teams that play Calcetto (Italian 5-a-side soccer).
