During the trip the students will earn six units of course credit that covers topics of Design and Urbanism to History and Theory. 5 weeks in Italy apartments in Florence and Rome guided tours from informed faculty sketching architectural masterpieces great food. The CBU International Study trip to Italy (ISTI) embeds students into the Italian culture, and through a careful study of design, history, and urban design, asks students to consider deeply the foundational truths of the profession.At CBU Architecture, we aim to develop architects who demonstrate professional excellence and personal integrity, are servant leaders in their communities and who live biblically based, missional lives within the profession. While this is a regular topic of discussion during class, we also aim to provide key opportunities for our students outside the class to engage with the profession, apply their skill sets in a missional setting, and participate in developing industry leading research. CBU has partnerships with the following organizations and chapters: American Institute of Architecture Students, CRUX, Association of Christians in Architecture, Church Design Research Institute, National Organization of Minority Students, and Freedom by Design.
