FAST offers several programs for motivated students seeking to develop new skills and knowledge while building a body of work and professional experience in an international learning environment. Career programs may be taken for one level and one or two years.
Career Programs are divided according to levels. Students will complete each level in approximately 10 weeks (the number of weeks may vary according to the Academic Calendar). At least 2 levels are required for certification (levels I and II or III and IV). The granting of formal final certification is conditional on the successful completion of all program academic requirements. Programs may be attended for only one level as a study abroad experience, at the end of which is issued to the student a transcript for coursework completed. Each level offers 5 core courses and the option of adding specialized options such as Italian language, seminars, and internships.
For detailed information on program structure, options, and admissions, please consult the Career Programs Area of the FUA-AUF website.
Both programs may be attended as a single level and obtain a transcript for credits.
