Italian Major

Italian Major

The Department of Modern Languages announces the addition of the major in Italian to the already existing majors in French and Spanish. A student-generated initiative, the major in Italian is a natural outgrowth of student interest in Italian language, literature and culture both at Saint Mary’s College and in American colleges and universities nationwide. The Saint Mary’s Rome Program, in existence since 1970 and the College’s largest foreign studies program, continues to attract students and is at the heart of the newly implemented major in Italian. In this endeavor the Italian faculty recognizes the groundwork done on behalf of the Italian major by two of the Rome Program returnees: Jessica Sloan, class of 2005, presently studying at the London School of Economics and Maria Francesca Muscarello, Class of 2006, admitted to the graduate program in Italian at Indiana University, Bloomington.
