Italian Studies
The Italian Studies Minor (18 credits) offers courses of Italian language, literature, history, civilization, cinema, theater, opera and art history. In addition to our Italian Studies Minor, Seton Hall also offers outstanding preparation for graduate school or a career in international business, diplomacy, teaching, social work and the law. Students in Italian also have the option to do internships for major companies and government offices that work with Italy. 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.
