  • opportunities to study current topics of global concern, such as migration and multiculturalism.

Our courses promote an an understanding of the richness of Italian language and culture. Our degree makes interdisciplinary connections to the programs in American Studies, Art History, International Relations, Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies, among others. In addition to language and culture classes taught in Italian, we offer many courses in English. Check the course schedule to see what's coming up.
