What Italian courses have you taken?

What graduate degree, if any, do you plan to pursue?

Essay: Identify one or two aspects of daily life in Italy that you anticipate encountering (such as cultural norms, social expectations, transportation, interpersonal interactions, or civic life). Reflect on how engaging with these aspects through direct experience may deepen your understanding, challenge preconceived ideas, or enable meaningful cultural comparisons. Explain how participation in this program is expected to contribute to your development of global awareness. You may address skills such as comparing cultural perspectives, communicating across cultures, understanding how language and culture shape ways of thinking, and applying these insights in academic, personal, or professional contexts.

Essays will be evaluated based on clarity, specificity, depth of reflection, demonstration of global awareness, and engagement with Italian language and culture.
