Independent Research Course
This optional course provides students with the resources and support to complete a significant research assignment in a topic of their choice, often generating material for a final portfolio or senior thesis at their home institution. In this program, students are paired with an expert in their chosen field—a Pantheon Institute faculty member, an adviser from home, or one of Rome’s distinguished scholars—as they create a personalized path of study. The course culminates in a research paper or presentation showcasing their work over the semester.

The studios also includes a computer lab, library, conference room and an administrative office.
