The faculty associated with the program cover many different areas
related to the study of the Italian language, Italian culture, and
Italy's relationships with other cultures. These include literature
and translation, the visual arts (including film), music, drama,
opera, linguistics, European history, the history of science, historical
anthropology, and comparative religion. Students select an area of

curriculum.
