The Italian Studies program equips students with comprehensive knowledge of Italian culture while progressively enhancing their language fluency and cross-cultural competencies. As learners progress, they critically examine Italy's cultural heritage, historical developments, literary works, and social structures. Beginning with foundational coursework, the program advances to sophisticated instruction in Italian grammar, lexicon, writing, and oral communication, alongside exploration of both historical and modern societal concerns. Upper-level courses cultivate advanced analytical abilities through examination of literary and film narratives, philosophical concepts, and cultural traditions.
