General Timeline

November 2025 – February 2026: APPLY

There are about 20 spots open for this class. If there are more applicants than spots we will have to make some tough choices. We may conduct a few short interviews.

December 2025 – January 2026: APPLICATION GOES LIVE AT UW STUDY ABROAD

Engineering Rome application goes live on the UW Study Abroad website. Times vary from year-to-year but it genreally goes live at the end of fall or beginning of winter quarter.

Before this time you can look for announcements from Civil/Environmental Engineering and the College of Engineering on information sessions and other Engineering Rome news. Be sure to follow us on Istagram as we always announcement our events there. instagram/engineeringrome

15 February 2026: APPLICATIONS ARE DUE

Make sure you are done with your application by February 15th.

March 2026: SELECTION

Application reviews. If there are more applications than we have slots we will have to undergo a selection process. As noted above, there may be short interviews.

Mid-March 2026: NOTIFICATION

We will have all reviews done and notifications to students by mid-March.

Spring Quarter 2026: WEEKLY GROUP MEETING

A once-per-week meeting to orient you to Engineering Rome. It’s essential that you attend these meetings as they prepare you for your visit (such preparation is required by UW Study Abroad in order to go). It will probably be scheduled in the afternoon, once per week. We will try and work with the class to find the best time to meet. No homework, just fun preparation work for Rome.

26-ish August – 20-ish September 2026: ROME

Class meets in Rome, Italy. Our “home base” so to speak is the UW Rome Center.
