ISEP is delighted to announce the newest additions to our ISEP Direct portfolio in two of the most in-demand destinations: Italy and Seoul, South Korea. These new programs give students even more flexibility, academic variety, and access to high-quality experiences abroad.
New Options in Italy
Italy has long been one of ISEP’s most popular destinations, and now students have even more ways to experience its culture, history, and innovation. In addition to semester programs in Milan and Florence and summer options in Milan and Rome, we’re introducing three exciting new opportunities with our partner, Florence University of the Arts (FUA):
