This is the official page of the Italian Program at the University of Dallas, a private, independent Catholic liberal arts college known for its pursuit of wisdom, Truth, and justice, as well as its commitment and devotion to both the Western intellectual tradition and the Catholic Church. The University of Dallas is renowned for its Core curriculum - for which every (!) undergraduate reads Dante
's "Commedia" - and for its award-winning permanent Rome campus. Currently, the Italian Program offers a "Concentration" (i.e., Minor) in Italian, and beginning Fall 2017 will offer a Major in Italian Language and Literature! In addition to adding to the intellectual and spiritual life of the academic culture at the University of Dallas, the Italian Program sponsors a new Italian Lecture series called NOTAI (North Texas Area Italian) focused on cultural, artistic, and scholarly connections between Italy and Texas.The Italian program at the University of Dallas is particularly important for students who choose to spend a semester of their sophomore year in Rome. Our permanent Rome campus at Due Santi has brought to our university many students from all over the United States and gives them the most memorable experience of their formative years.
