Italian Language Immersion
This course is an off-campus immersion course designed for students who are in Italy. Students attend regularly scheduled intensive language classes which are enhanced by the linguistic and cultural immersion experience. Instruction will focus on developing grammatical competence with increased focus on developing oral and aural skills. Depending upon the nature of the off-campus experience, preparatory work may be done at Northeastern before departure.

The other course will cover Italian society and culture in the 21st century.
