Italian Studies
SubjectLanguages, Social Sciences
The Bachelor of Arts in Italian Studies is an interdisciplinary degree that combines the study of literature, history, art, and culture while developing students’ fluency in Italian language. The context of an American liberal arts university exposes students to many fields of study and ways of approaching intellectual problems related to Italy, while John Cabot University's Italian setting provides a tangible understanding of the multifaceted realities of Italian culture.
Italian Studies majors accrue the unparalleled benefits of studying in Italy’s centrally located capital, including the opportunity to travel throughout the country and take advantage of internships that require a working knowledge of Italian language and culture. The senior thesis, under the direction of a JCU faculty member, allows students to explore and research in depth a topic of their own choosing. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, the Italian Studies major is particularly suitable to be combined with other majors such as Communications, Art History, and Humanistic Studies.
The Italian Studies major offers an excellent background for students who intend to pursue graduate studies, teach Italian as a second language, work in cinema, journalism, or another creative profession, become part of the tourism industry, or begin a career in international business, diplomacy, or foreign affairs.
