NABA is a private Academy founded in Milan in 1980 on the initiatives of Ausonio Zappa, Guido Ballo and Tito Varisco, belonging to the Higher Artistic and Musical Education (AFAM) system, a section of the Italian University system ruled by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). The three-year Bachelor of Arts Degree Programs, the two-year Master of Arts Degree Programs and the Master Programs lead to the attainment of legally recognized degrees and to the achievement of educational credits that will allow students to continue their studies in Academies and Universities in Italy and abroad. NABA has developed a set of programs in English specifically designed for international students. These programs include Semester Abroad Programs, Summer Programs and one-year Master Programs. In December 2009 NABA joined Laureate Education, an international network of accredited universities that includes a community of over 650,000 students on more than 100 campuses in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
