The Italian Studies Minor
The Italian Studies Minor (21 credits) offers outstanding preparation for graduate school, or a career in international business, diplomacy, teaching, social work and the law. Recent graduates of the Italian program have established careers in finance, tourism and the fashion industry, and some have gone on to the best law schools in the United States. 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 people whose experiences continue to be fundamental in shaping the modern world.

Faculty and Italian Studies Committee Members: Bénéteau, Booth; Connell (Director), Milewski; Nichols; Savastano

Minor Requirements
21 credits of study are required to complete the Italian Studies Minor.  Students must take at least 6 credits in Italian language and literature, at least 3 credits in Italian art history, and at least three credits in Italian history. Proficiency in the Italian language at the intermediate level is also a requirement. (This will be demonstrated either by the completion of ITAL 1101 and 1102, or by completing an upper-level course conducted in Italian.)
