About our Program
The Italian Studies Major at Loyola University Chicago is an interdisciplinary and international academic experience. Students majoring in Italian Studies demonstrate competence in a foreign language, unique intercultural skills, an international outlook, and the ability to apply their skills to global challenges. Students in the major have the opportunity to study abroad at the Loyola Rome campus, the John Felice Rome Center, choosing a one-semester, one-year or summer session program.
The Italian Studies curriculum includes courses in the Italian language, Italian literature courses both in Italian and in translation, a 300-level internship course (with the possibility of completing it with international firms in Italy), and courses in other disciplines taught at Loyola. This major prepares students to work in a variety of fields that require an international background and solid intercultural skills.
