Description
Studying Italian language, literature, and culture, you will explore Italy's historical legacy and contemporary society while developing essential communicative and analytical skills and deepening your awareness of other cultures. The Italian Studies program builds upon Italy's artistic, intellectual, and scientific tradition, reexamining historical perspectives while illuminating modern cultural dynamics and societal trends. In our language courses, where the journey begins, students learn language skills, such as written and oral communication, but also reflect on cultural differences, both between Italy and the United States and within Italy. Small group sessions with Italian Language Assistants further emphasize intercultural interactions and the development of oral language proficiency. As students advance through the program, they further hone their communicative abilities and expand their critical thinking skills as they explore topics in Italian literature and culture.
