Il Futuro Inizia ad Assumption University

Italian, the official language of the Republic of Italy, is spoken not only by the country’s more than 60 million residents but also by millions of people across the globe. As the fourth most populated country in the European Union and the 23^rd most populated country in the world, Italy is a major player in global affairs and a leading tourist destination. Il bel paese boasts a strong economy and an unparalleled artistic and literary patrimony that makes Italian Studies an extremely worthwhile academic discipline for those wishing to expand their cultural horizons and enhance their intellectual capacity. 

Opportunities abound for students of Italian at Assumption University, from study abroad at Assumption's Rome campus to an internship in northern Italy upon graduation. By completing an Italian Studies Minor, a self-declared Italian Studies major, or an interdisciplinary major involving Italian, linguistically and culturally competent graduates of Italian distinguish themselves as open-minded, distinctive, and liberally educated job candidates with an edge in the general marketplace and in all areas of the humanities, international business and foreign affairs.
