Italian Cultural Studies Major

Few countries have had as much impact on western civilization as Italy, seat of the Roman Empire and birthplace of the Renaissance. Arcadia’s Majors Abroad Program (MAP) leads students to a Bachelor of Arts in Italian Studies. The Italian Studies major centers its core of courses in language skills, culture, literature, cinema, and the arts. The most significant aspect of this major is the requirement for students to spend up to one year in Italy and complete their major courses in Perugia, Italy.

Careers in art, food, fashion, international business and education, and diplomacy and government relations; work within museums; and positions within communications and the travel and hospitality industries are among the many ways Italian Studies graduates have used their skills and Italian cultural literacy.
