The M.A. degree in Italian consists of four specializations. Students must select one specialization as a major. The M.A. degree is comprised of twelve courses to be taken over a series of summers on the Vermont campus or in a combination of a summer in Vermont and an academic year in Florence. Students who complete degree requirements in Florence must present an independent research project worth two units of credit.
Students must successfully complete a preliminary summer of study (summer of application) on the Vermont campus before being officially accepted to degree candidacy. During this summer, students take three courses, one of which must be a literature course at the 600 level or above, and one of which must be a civilization course.
Admission to the School in Italy is based on performance in the summer courses and on faculty recommendations.
