Abstract
The authors evaluate two main business models that represent the American study abroad industry in Italy, a lucrative education system that continues to exploit and transform an industry as an integral part of the Italian culture in many cities and regions. Several factors are analyzed in the cost of programs, ownership and operational functions, outsourcing program providers, quality of programs, Barile Law factors and other organizational formations. These programs do not always translate to a quality educational experience for students.
