Student Profile

Jacqueline Grossi
Major: History
Minor: Italian Studies

"I'm a history major and an Italian American. Italian Studies allows me to take courses in a variety of fields, such as English and art history, and these often fulfill core requirements. It's a good supplement for my history major, because it gives me a specific area to explore. I also studied in Florence with the Dante intensive program; there is a lot of rich history in Italian Studies.

All the professors in the Italian Studies program are excellent. Dr. Mary Ann Carolan, program director, is very enthusiastic about what she does. The program has a lot to offer. I think anyone could find a selection of courses they would be interested in taking in the Italian Studies Program."
