Italian Studies

At the University of Guelph students can take courses in Italian language through the advanced level as well as courses in Medieval, Renaissance, and contemporary Italian literature. U of G students may decide to pursue Italian for any number of reasons, ranging from an interest in the Arts (fine art, music, literature) to a desire to work with Italian industries (tourism, fashion, interior or graphic design, commerce). Some students will be interested in Italian because of family and heritage connections.
