This program is offered as a combined major, permitting students enrolled in Italian Studies to combine their degree with other fields of interest depending on their academic and professional goals.

Through state-of-the-art multimedia classrooms, you will develop written and spoken competence in Italian and discover the rich and vast world of Italian culture. A variety of experiential learning opportunities are integrated into our courses as well as opportunities in the local Italian-Canadian communities.

Language courses are offered from beginner to advanced, including translation theory and practice, Italian regionalism and language teaching. We also offer courses in Italian literature, culture, cinema, art and architecture taught in English. You’ll be exposed to great writers, artists and filmmakers, such as Dante, Petrarch, Machiavelli, Pirandello, Eco, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Fellini and Bertolucci.
