Bachelor in Italian Studies

at Smith College

The main goal of the Italian department at Smith College is to offer a program of study that provides opportunities for students to acquire both proficiency in Italian and a good appreciation of Italy’s rich cultural tradition. All members of the Italian department are seriously committed to the idea that learning a foreign language is an inherent part of an undergraduate education. We are convinced that if we teach our students a language within a cultural context, we are broadening their minds and opening them up to the possibility of a variety of interpretations of life.
