Overview

With our small classes and low student-to-teacher ratio, you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention as you work toward fluency.

At the Susquehanna University, we strive to create an Italian-speaking community in and out of the classroom. Chat with fellow students and an Italian Fulbright fellow at weekly language tables, enjoy dinner at an Italian restaurant with your class, or catch an Italian movie with our Italian Club.

Flexible study abroad options in Italy

Through our award-winning global opportunities (GO) program, you can choose to study in Italy for a whole semester or just a few weeks.

Spend a semester connecting with native speakers in study abroad programs in Siena, Ferrara and other Italian cities. You'll live with host families, make long-lasting friendships, do internships and take courses in a broad array of disciplines.

We also offer a shorter program studying language and culture in the northern city of Ferrara.
