Benvenuti all’Istituto di Italianistica del Queens College
Welcome to
the Italian Program. Italian is offered in the Department of European
Languages and Literatures, located in King Hall 207, tel. 718-997-5980. Italian faculty offices are located in Kiely Hall and King
Hall, and most courses are taught in these two buildings. The Italian
Program at Queens College is among the most prestigious in the New York
area, with a wide range of course offerings and faculty interests.
Students may pursue a major and a minor in Italian, as well as a
Master's degree. Many students prepare for a career in teaching Italian
in the secondary schools, some continue their studies in doctoral
programs. Others use their proficiency in Italian and their knowledge of
Italian culture in a variety of business careers. Many students will
plan to visit Italy or study in one of its programs, to advance their
language skills, to learn about the wealth of artistic treasures, or to
discover family roots. The courses at Queens College are designed to
fulfill many of these objectives. Contact us at italian_program@qc.edu.
