Italian Track
Concentration: To Be Determined
“When I found out about the Italian track for IBDD, I was immediately intrigued. I had taken 3 years of Spanish in high school, but I had always wanted to study abroad in Italy. With the IBDD Italian track, I was able to start with a low level of Italian and use my existing knowledge of Spanish, to learn the new language. The unique part of the IBDD program is being able to live in another country and gain international business experience through the internships, all while having the experience of a lifetime! I can’t wait for this opportunity because I know it will push me academically, socially, and professionally, and will ultimately prepare me for a career in international business, like no other program can. My advice for prospective students is to take dual enrollment/ AP/ IB courses throughout high school and reach out to others in the program for support! Keep an open mind and have fun!”
