The graduate program provides comprehensive education in Italian Studies, culminating in a PhD. Students first establish a solid base in critical analysis and historical perspectives of Italian literature, then branch out into diverse interdisciplinary fields. These encompass film studies, comparative literature, literary/rhetorical/cultural theory, gender studies, history, anthropology, art/music history, architecture, classics, political science, medieval/early modern studies, and Romance languages/literature, among others.
Our Italian Studies Department features a combined MA/PhD track, with the MA serving as the initial step toward the doctorate. We do not accept applications solely for the MA program. Candidates with a relevant master's degree from other institutions may enter directly at the PhD level.
Typically, students complete their Italian Studies PhD within four years.
