Overview

Home of the political and religious center of Western civilization, a founding member of the European Union and renowned for its visual arts, literature and theater, Italy has always been a hub of history and culture. From the Vatican to Versace, Italian influence can be felt anywhere on the globe.

Small classes, multimedia classrooms and learning resources such as the language lab and writing center support Italian majors from Saint Joseph's University in achieving fluency and success. Interactive and experiential learning is emphasized. Internships, study abroad opportunities, events on campus and in the city - Philadelphia is rich in Italian culture - all contribute to making SJU a great place to learn about Italian language and culture.
