Italian Studies Minor

The Italian Studies Minor consists of six courses concentrating on Italian Studies. The six courses must be distributed as follows:

• Three to four courses in Italian language (IT), at the 104 level and higher (for members of the classes of 2024 and before, at the 201 level and higher).
• Two or three approved courses in two other fields; for example, art history (AH) and music (MU), or psychology (PY) and business (IB).
• Up to three classes can be counted from a study abroad program.
• Some courses will always count; others will count depending upon and syllabus of the course for that semester. These courses must meet specific criteria in order to be counted toward the minor. Ordinarily, students bring the syllabus to the coordinator of Italian Studies at registration time in order to have the course approved for their minor.

Courses may be counted toward the minor if, in a given semester, the course meets one of the following requirements:

• At least one-half of the course material involves Italian or Italian tradition as measured through written work and topics covered through lecture, reading, and testing.
• The student completes a final project involving Italy (its culture, literature, and/or history/social situation).
• It is taught in Italian about Italian materials.

Courses must be distributed minimally across three disciplines (e.g., EN, HS, IT, ML).  Two courses may be cross-counted between the Italian Studies Minor and another major or minor, as long as the department chair in the other major or minor is in agreement.  Minor forms and other forms can be found here.

A list of courses for each semester is available from Coordinators and in the course selection booklet for the given semester.
