Italian Minor
A minor in a foreign language gives you a competitive edge in the international market. It prepares you to live in and contribute to a diverse and changing world and to enter the global workforce equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and communication skills needed for success in an interdependent world.
An Italian minor requires five courses in Italian or, as an alternative, four courses in Italian and an MC course with modified assignments, with permission of the instructor and after you have completed level 214 of the language.
The following requirements below are intended for students beginning fall 2023.
To declare your minor, please speak to your academic advisor for assistance.
