Study Abroad Summer Math and Engineering Courses for STEM Majors

John Cabot University offers Engineering and Mathematics courses for STEM majors during the five-week Summer I and II sessions. The objective of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to remain on track or speed up their time to graduation while participating in an international experience that allows them to appreciate the history and engineering feats of Ancient Rome.

Students earn transferable credit and take advantage of a variety of extracurricular activities and support services provided by the university. Dedicated engineering activities will be posted shortly.

JCU welcomed over 300 undergraduate engineering students from 40 universities in USA and internationally in the past five years.

Summer I 2023: May 17 - June 24 
Summer II 2023: June 29 - August 5

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

To facilitate the transfer of academic credit, the syllabi for JCU’s engineering courses are developed in collaboration with major engineering programs in the US that are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The curriculum focuses on standard first-and second-year engineering and mathematics courses taught by visiting summer engineering and mathematics faculty from major universities.

The JCU summer engineering program includes a collaboration with the Italian university Università Roma Tre Department of Engineering. JCU is designated as a project work site for Roma Tre doctoral students; in 2019, the summer engineering and mathematics courses for STEM majors included visits to the doctoral students’ labs and presentations and discussions about their ongoing research and we hope to resume this after the interruption from the pandemic.

Please find our engineering and mathematics course syllabi below.
