The minor combines courses in basic, intermediate, and advanced language, as well as literature, history and Italian culture. If students begin at a level beyond ITAL 1102 , they can take additional area study courses to meet the 18-credit hour requirement. Advanced courses and additional area study under ITAL course code are taught entirely in Italian.

Required Courses (18 credits)

Plus two of the following (at least one must be ITAL 4410 or 4411):

Area study (6 credits):
ITAL 4410 - Literature of Migaration
ITAL 4411 - Crime and Punishment in Italian Literature
ARTS 4403 - Special Topics
(when offered as Art and Science of Renaissance Italy)
SOCI 4451 - Special Topics
(when offered as Contemporary Italian Lives and Culture)

Notes:

Students who studied more than one year of Italian prior to attending the university will need to take the placement test in order to determine their level of proficiency. If students place higher than 1102, they will substitute the class(es) they outplaced with additional area study courses in order to meet the 18-credit hour requirement.
Special Topics in Italian or about Italian culture may satisfy the area study courses requirements with approval of the Modern Language Coordinator.
