* Concurrent with IT 001, 002, 003, 010 & 020 only

 

Many courses at the 300 and 400 level have prerequisites. Therefore, students who begin the minor below the 100 level, may need more than 18 credits to fulfill the Minor requirements.

 

Although Italian 1, 2, and 3 theoretically count toward the Minor, many students because of the new placement policy (1985) regarding high school study of Italian, do not qualify for Italian 1 and/or Italian 2.
