Program Overview
The KSU Italian Studies Program is the largest in the metro Atlanta area and the second largest in the state of Georgia according to the most recent MLA data. Our nationally and internationally recognized faculty members and award-winning students work closely together through courses at all levels (from language to cultural studies, from business Italian to literature, theatre, and cinema), individualized research opportunities, and multiple study abroad and internship options.

B.A. in Modern Languages and Culture, Primary Language Italian. The degree program prepares students in the language and explores the literature, art, history and politics of Italy and its contributions to world cultures. The program provides the basis for a lifetime of personal inquiry. There are three Concentrations available in the Program. The Concentrations complement the primary program and provide knowledge that is an invaluable asset to students working in the globalized marketplace.
