Northwestern’s Italian BA immerses students in the language of Dante, the cinema of Fellini, and the design innovations of Milan. Intensive courses speed learners toward advanced proficiency, while seminars investigate medieval manuscripts, Fascist-era politics, contemporary migration narratives, and Italy’s culinary diplomacy. Study-abroad opportunities in Bologna and Florence pair classroom learning with internships at publishing houses, fashion ateliers, or UNESCO heritage offices. By graduation, majors wield intercultural agility prized in diplomacy, global marketing, art conservation, and graduate humanities research.
