Italian Studies Minor
The Italian Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary program of study in which students are engaged in the language, culture, history, and society of Italy within a broad European, Mediterranean, and global context, from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the present day. This minor leads you to a comprehensive understanding of Italy and of the Italian diaspora. The program also provides the opportunity for study abroad in Italy, for some of the language courses and electives.
The following requirements below are intended for students beginning fall 2024.
