Italian Programs
Italian Studies combines the study of the Italian language with the study of Italy’s literature, cinema, culture, and linguistic traditions, considered in both historical and contemporary perspectives. The discipline brings together multiple approaches to Italian cultural production and social life and offers an interdisciplinary framework for understanding Italy’s place within broader European and global contexts.
Italian Studies is organized around language and four areas of concentration – literature, cinema and visual culture, linguistics, and cultural studies – which reflect the contemporary configuration of the discipline. These areas offer distinct but interconnected perspectives on Italian language, culture, and society and structure the undergraduate programs of study on this area.
