  Hello: unico67-ga: You asked: "Please can you tell me, in Italy, which universities/international schools (as in 18 years upwards) teach English Literature on the curriculum in English I found only a few promising leads for you. The best candidate by far appears to be John Cabot University in Rome, which accepts students from all over the world. Telephone: +39-06-6819121; Web site: http://www.johncabot.edu/ (this site takes some time to load) John Cabot offers a Bachelor's degree program in English Literature: http://www.johncabot.edu/academics/degreeprograms/bachelorarts/bachelorarts.htm The American school Gonzaga University has a Florence campus and it is open to "students from other universities," but there's no real detail about admission requirements, so you must contact the school to see if you qualify. The Florence campus does offer courses in English Literature: https://www.gonzaga.edu/Academics/Undergraduate/Study+Abroad/Programs/Florence/Academic+Program.htm Umbra Institute in Perugia, Italy. A "Private, independent liberal arts school for study abroad. American system. Student Body: U.S. and European . . . . More than 100 nations represented at the Universitá per Stranieri di Perugia" The school has a "Special Program" in English Literature. See: http://www.studyabroad-perugia.com/ginfo/ginfo_frameset.htm Saint Mary's College (Notre Dame, Indiana) Rome Program, which offers a course in "English and American literature relating to Rome and Italy." There's no Web site listed for the college, but you can e-mail: [email protected] or telephone: 06.6880.4752, for more information. NOTE: It isn't clear if Saint Mary's accepts non-American students, so you must contact them to find out. Here's an interesting article about the diminishing number of American/ English-language and culture studies programs in Italy: http://www.aisna.org/Plight.htm Search strings: "Italy universities 'English Literature' English curriculum" "study English Literature Italy" "study English Literature 'Italian University'" "English Literature programs 'Italian University'" I will try to find some more schools for you and post them. Finding appropriate programs was tougher than I thought it would be! Regards, nancylynn-ga
