Department of French and Italian

The Italian Division at the University of Colorado features three tenure-line faculty members, a fourth faculty member who teaches in both French and Italian, and several instructors and lecturers. Faculty specialize in the Italian Renaissance and in modern literature and cinema, while instructors provide additional expertise in art history, theater, business, and contemporary Italian culture. Members of the division have produced several books and textbooks in the last four years, and CU ranks among the leaders nationally in terms of number of majors and minors in the program, making it an excellent place to receive a rich and rewarding experience in Italian language and culture. There are several study-abroad programs, and students can choose either a minor or a major in Italian. There is also a new joint Certificate Program with Engineering.
