Italian Minor < University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

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 history, society, 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.

Requirements

In addition to the program requirements listed below, students must:

take at least nine hours of their minor "core" requirements at UNC–Chapel Hill
earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in the minor core requirements. Some programs may require higher standards for minor or specific courses.

Completion of ITAL 204 or ITAL 402 is considered a prerequisite for the minor.
