John Cabot University has been named to Forbes' newly published list of the 15 top international colleges and universities for U.S. undergraduate students, placing the small American-style university in Trastevere alongside a roster of considerably larger and more globally recognized names, including the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, McGill University, Sciences Po and Bocconi University.
The article, written by Forbes staff writer Lisa Chambers and published August 29, singled out JCU as offering, in the piece's own words, one of the most American-style education experiences among the schools profiled. The magazine pointed to JCU's location in Rome's Trastevere neighborhood, its 16 majors spanning business and economics, political and social sciences, and the humanities, and its notably international student body: roughly 1,900 students, 28% of whom come from the United States.
