The Italian Studies program offers students the opportunity to study the language, history and culture of Italy under the guidance of internationally renowned scholars in anthropology, history, history of art and architecture, literature and modern culture and media.
The doctoral program in Italian Studies prepares students for research and teaching positions in academic environments, and in the world of advanced thought more generally. The program emphasizes an interdisciplinary "cultural studies" perspective, while maintaining vital links to literary-critical, philosophical, art-historical and historical disciplines. Along with intensive training in teaching language and culture at all levels, we offer our students preparation in the most recent relevant theories and methodologies, including special training in the digital humanities.
