ITAL-MIN - Italian (Minor)

The mission of the undergraduate program in Italian is to expose students to a variety of perspectives in Italian language, culture, and history by providing majors with training in writing and communication as well as cultural, textual, and historical analysis in order to develop students into critical and global thinkers prepared for careers in business, social service, and government, or for graduate study in Italian.

AP and transfer credit not accepted.

The department expects undergraduate minors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes to a degree appropriate for a minor course of study:

1. Close reading skills of authentic texts in Italian.

2. The ability to develop effective and nuanced lines of interpretation.

3. Critical thinking skills using Italian literary materials, with attention to the presentation of ideas.
