The most recent MLA language enrollment census and report (published in 2018) revealed that 106 programs that had offered courses taught in Italian language in 2013 did not report any enrollments for 2016. Although 50 programs were added in 2016, there was a net loss of 56 programs in Italian between 2013 and 2016 - "loss" here meaning that where there once were courses in Italian, they are no longer offered. But at the same time the data also show many programs, undergraduate and graduate, with increasing or stable enrollments. The article considers briefly what works to make some programs thrive at a time of serious challenges. The article concludes by recommending that Italian programs embrace diversity initiatives to create innovative curricula that will appeal to more students
