With the growing interest in 意大利 and 意大利 American studies at a national level, students of the 意大利 program will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and language skills by integrating the major or minor into other fields, 比如商业, 通信, 经济学, 教育, 时尚, 历史, and political science, through interdisciplinary coursework that explores various theoretical and methodological approaches.  The program strongly encourages students to fulfill their immersion experience through study abroad.

Marist Abroad provides the opportunity for students to study at our campus in Florence, Italy. First-years may also participate in the First-year Florence Experience.  Students of any year may take 意大利 classes in either Poughkeepsie or at the Florence campus at the elementary, 中间, and advanced levels. Students may earn credit for a major or minor in 意大利 in Florence, or at our other sites in Rome, Tuscania, 或威尼斯. Classes in 意大利 at campuses abroad may be interchangeable with classes in Poughkeepsie for the 意大利 minor. Elective requirements for the minor may be satisfied at either campus, and the campus in Italy offers students a wider variety of elective course choices.
