Italian Minor
College of Arts and Sciences
Minor Requirements
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Five courses (minimum 3 credits each) are required to complete the minor in Italian: | ||
| ITAL 2202 | Italian IV | 3 |
| ITAL 2900 | Perspectives in Italian Culture 1 | 3 |
| or ITAL 2204 | The Cinematic Eye of Italy | |
| Students must take at least three other classes in Italian Studies. 2 | ||
Note that an ITAL course of 1.5 or 2 credits is considered a 1/2 course and must be combined with another 1.5 or 2 credit course in order to be considered a “course.” Of these at least one, but ideally more than one, must be offered in Italian (literature/culture). The three electives may be chosen from those offered in Romance Studies or other departments such as History, Architecture, History of Art, Government, Sociology, and so on. We strongly urge students to consider ITAL 2203 Languages-Literatures-Identities as one of the electives. | ||
- 1
Students who elect to take both of these classes may count them both toward the total of five classes required for the minor. Note that ITAL 2900 Perspectives in Italian Culture has no prerequisites and may be taken at any time.
