Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Italian Studies
Double (second) majors are encouraged and supported. Numerous opportunities are available, including programs of study abroad, work study, interdisciplinary programs, and Fulbright. We offer two tracks for the Italian major: Italian Studies and Italian and European Studies.
Romance Studies explores the languages, literatures and cultures of areas that speak Latin-based, or Romanic languages such as Haitian Creole, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. We connect language and literature with culture, history and politics through deeply interdisciplinary scholarship.
Our curriculum explores the rich traditions of Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian cultures, both in their countries of origin, and in the cultures of diaspora, including Latin America, the Caribbean, Quebec, and the Chicano border. And our research covers an extensive area of the planet: from Europe to Africa and South America; from the Caribbean to the Philippines; from the Mediterranean to Indochina and the Mauritius Islands.
