Italian Minor

The minor in Italian is designed for those who wish to continue their study of the Italian language and acquire a more in-depth knowledge of Italian literature and culture. Many use it to support their majors in related fields such as global studies, business, history, art history, and anthropology, and to round out their major in the STEM fields as well. It requires three fewer courses than the Italian major.
