The Italian major consists of 30 units of upper-division coursework. Up to 14 units of lower-division coursework or demonstrated language proficiency is required for the major.
Proficiency can be demonstrated by completing the necessary lower-division courses, having taken the equivalent coursework elsewhere, or testing out. For advising about placement, contact the Italian program coordinator at [email protected].
Most upper-division courses with the ITAL prefix are conducted in Italian, and students are expected to use Italian in their speaking, reading, and writing.
