Save the Italian Studies Master of Arts Program at Cal State University, Long Beach
The Italian Studies MA Program at CSULB, originally slated to begin the Fall 2011 Semester, has recently been stalled, leaving countless prospective students' plans for the future in jeopardy. The George L. Graziadio Chair of Italian Studies at California State University, Long Beach was the first endowed chair established within the CSULB College of Liberal Arts, and this MA Program would only make the department even richer, offering students the opportunity to continue their studies in one of the leading university-level Italian Studies programs.
According to UNESCO, 60% of the world’s art treasures are found in Italy, a country whose heritage and creative spirit continues to fuel the most innovative advances in the arts, sciences and humanities. Knowing Italian allows you to understand, appreciate, and analyze this treasury of human expression, so, indeed, Italian at CSULB is as essential as is Spanish, German and French. Graduates of the program are uniquely positioned to find jobs in public service, business, consulting, academia, the arts and communications.
