Italian represents one of the foundational cultural influences in Western civilization. Exploring Italy and its language provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary examination of contemporary Italian and Italian American culture through diverse fields including literature, film, translation studies, the arts, classical philosophy, fashion, travel, Mediterranean gastronomy, and beyond. With its rich humanistic scope, Italian studies equip students with versatile career opportunities by fostering global communication skills and cultural awareness. Mastering a foreign language additionally enhances English proficiency in both verbal and written communication. The Italian B.S. program prepares students with practical Italian language competencies (speaking, reading, writing) for careers where Italian fluency offers distinct advantages.
