In order to help foster and maintain the diverse community at JCU, we take a comprehensive approach to admissions. Not only do we examine your grades and test scores, we carefully read your personal statement, letters of recommendation, and assess your past course of study. We are looking for students who want a diverse international environment, challenging dynamic classes, and who want to take full advantage of the opportunities that come with studying and living in Rome.
Admission to John Cabot University is selective and we review every application carefully. Successful applicants have a scholastic record that demonstrates a serious academic commitment and the ability to succeed at college-level work. We require at least a 12-year course of study from beginning to diploma award. We welcome any other supporting material (such as information about extracurricular activities, community service, previous employment, or international travel/study) that reflects your special qualities and achievements.
