'Live the Life' in Prato, Italy
AV opened its first international satellite campus in Prato, Italy in the fall of 2012. The historic city of Prato offers AV students an authentic Italian cultural experience. Prato, the second largest city in the region, is just 25 minutes from Florence and less than two hours from Rome by train.
While experiencing life abroad, students will have the opportunity to enroll in five classes taught by both AV and Italian faculty. All AV tuition and fees remain the same as if students were attending our main campus in West Haven, Connecticut - the only difference in price is the cost of airfare!
