UCLA’s Italian graduate program is housed in the Department of European Languages & Transcultural Studies (ELTS). The program offers a Ph.D. in Italian with a master’s degree available on the doctoral track (i.e., the M.A. is not a standalone terminal degree in Italian). The department, established in 2020, integrates former departments of French and Francophone Studies, Germanic Languages, Italian, and Scandinavian, emphasizing transcultural and transnational European contexts across literary studies, visual culture, film and media, and experimental humanities. According to UCLA Graduate Division, the Italian graduate offering is a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) with a master’s available on the doctoral track; admissions are limited to Fall, and the application deadline listed for the current cycle is December 15, 2025. Program requirement pages indicate structured coursework expectations in years 1–2 and required teaching experience within the Ph.D., during which the M.A. may be awarded en route. 来源： https://www.elts.ucla.edu/graduate/ https://www.elts.ucla.edu/graduate/programs/ https://humanities.ucla.edu/graduate-programs/ https://grad.ucla.edu/graduate-program-requirements/program-requirements-for-italian-7-2-2-2-2-2-2-2/
