BA in Italian Studies in Chestnut Hill United States | Boston College

Pursuing an Italian Studies major develops advanced Italian language skills, enabling students to deeply engage with literary and cultural works through the lens of language. After establishing strong language foundations in the core program, majors apply these skills to diverse Italian texts. This curriculum cultivates students' capacity for textual and contextual analysis while fostering the ability to develop, express, and substantiate original arguments. Italian Studies minors gain comparable advantages, though more limited, by achieving language competency and completing at least two upper-level courses.
