There is no Minor in Italian Studies
Advisers: Giovanna Bellesia, Anna Botta, Alfonso Procaccini.
A minor in Italian offers the student the opportunity to acquire the basic skills and a reasonable knowledge of the Italian language as well as an overview of the history of Italian literature and culture. Furthermore, it offers the possibility for students returning from study abroad to continue with Italian on a limited program. If, a student does not wish to major in Italian, a minor would grant her the opportunity of official recognition for the courses taken.
