The Trinity College Rome Campus, established in 1970, offers students an outstanding educational opportunity in the heart of one of the world’s great cities, where glorious treasures and haunting ruins of several magnificent civilizations are stage to a vibrant, modern capital.

Based on the Aventine Hill, the southernmost of Rome’s seven hills, Trinity’s Rome Campus is surrounded by ancient churches, monasteries, and spectacular views. Students enjoy a superb location, renowned faculty, a broad liberal arts curriculum, stimulating fieldwork in Rome, academic excursions throughout Italy and Europe, a variety of internship opportunities and the city’s unparalleled lively cosmopolitan culture.
