The minor in Italian gives students the opportunity to improve skills in Italian and increase knowledge of Italian life and culture. The Italian minor makes an ideal combination with a major in areas such as business, the arts, English or comparative literature, other foreign languages or linguistics, history and art history, administration of justice, and health services, as well as certain social sciences such as sociology, political science, anthropology, etc.
Total credit requirements: 18 Credits
- Six (6) of these have to be at the 400-level
