Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Italian Literature and Culture
The Italian Program has particular strength in the field of Visual Culture. With courses in both English and Italian, our curriculum centers especially on the tradition and problems of visual communication from the Renaissance to contemporary media. Courses in English offer undergraduate students the opportunity to explore, for example, Michelangelo, cinema, art history, theater, and the representation of gender and sexuality from the Middle Ages to the present day. Courses in Italian offer seminar courses for advanced undergraduates on specific topics related to visuality and representation, as well as literature and history. Please peruse the course list and refer to our faculty pages to discover the research interests and courses of the Italian faculty: Prof. Alessia Ricciardi, Prof. Domietta Torlasco, and Associate Professor of Instruction Thomas Simpson.
Courses in related fields may contribute toward requirements for the major. Many Italian majors are double majors in fields as diverse as music, history, and cinema, and many create independent study programs joining Italian with their other interests.
