Italy has long been associated with literature, the arts, history and politics. Students who choose to study Italian will be 
exposed to Italy's cultural heritage and to the many facets of contemporary Italian culture. Italian is relevant for students specializing in the arts and humanities, international relations, the social and political sciences, business, education, as well as design and cuisine. The Italian program offers a curriculum designed to develop skills in reading, writing and speaking. To enhance students' ability to communicate in Italian, we use a student-centered, proficiency-oriented approach, rather than the more traditional lecture approach.
Did you know that Italian is a language of
mathematics and the physical sciences? Just look at work by Fermi, Marconi, and Galileo among others.
