Junior YearThe curriculum for Italian Studies students is comprised of three elements, as follows:
1) K. Robert Nilsson Center courses which serve well the interdisciplinary character of the Italian Studies major. Students are encouraged to conduct research and to write their papers for these courses in Italian.
2) Independent Studies, in Italian, involving specialized projects using resources available only in Italian. Directed by on-site Italian faculty from the K. Robert Nilsson Center, the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies, or the University of Bologna, one-credit independent studies will be grouped in small seminars.
3) Courses at the University of Bologna chosen from a wide variety of university courses appropriate to the major. The Coordinator of Italian Studies should be contacted for information.
Summer Immersion ProgramThe Department offers a five-week student immersion program in Bologna at the beginning of each summer. This program is of special interest to students who cannot spend a year abroad. 220 Summer Immersion counts toward the major in Italian Studies or the minor in Italian.
