Italian Studies

The Italian Studies Minor (18 credits) offers courses in Italian language and literature, religion, cinema, Italian and Italian American history and Roman civilization. The Minor provides outstanding preparation for graduate school or a career in international business, diplomacy, teaching, social work and the law. Students in the Italian and Italian Studies programs have the option to do internships for major companies and government offices that work with Italy. An introduction to Italian language and literature (typically Elementary ITAL 1001 and 1002) is required. Students with majors in any field are encouraged to consider the advantages of a minor program that provides focused attention on the history, language and culture of a country and a people whose experiences continue to be fundamental in shaping the modem world.
