Italian Studies
Approximately 90 million people worldwide speak Italian as their first or second language. Knowledge of Italian has become increasingly valuable for employment in international law, finance, trade, banking, art, music, fashion, and communications as well as for graduate studies in the humanities and social sciences. Drew’s Italian program provides a rich and stimulating curriculum that allows students to fully appreciate the language, literature, culture, and cinema.
