Italian Studies - Georgetown University

Italian Studies from Georgetown University is a Campus Master Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Italian Department offers a distinct program of studies in Italian culture and society with a strong international component that leads to the M.A. in Italian Studies. The goal of this program is to offer students a graduate program of studies that will give them: A broad in-depth knowledge of Italian culture High proficiency in Italian language Opportunities for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary study Overseas study and cultural immersion Career options in the academic or professional fields The four semesters, 30-credit curriculum of the Italian Master's program takes into consideration students' different needs and interests and offers three specialization options that revolve around a common core curriculum. The core curriculum provides the intellectual basis for the different options of our Master's Program, while at the same time, aids students in the transition from undergraduate to graduate-level work by introducing them to methodology and major trends in critical and cultural theory, and training them to apply these approaches to specific expressions of Italian culture. The M.A. degree program includes a semester abroad at an Italian university, an optional summer not for credit internship in Italy, a required thesis writing seminar, (considered part of the core curriculum) and a Master's thesis. The Italian Department program of studies, with a full immersion in Italian culture, responds to students' academic and professional goals. The first option is designed for students seeking the solid academic preparation needed to enter a doctoral program, the second option for either current teachers who seek a graduate degree or for those seeking to enter the teaching profession at the secondary level. The third option is designed for students who seek to apply their strong interest in Italian culture in a professional environment. View more details on Georgetown University .
