Admission to this program has been suspended. Any students wishing to study Italian can now opt to complete a minor in Global Studies, with a focus on the Italian language and a region where Italian is spoken.

This program is designed for students who have a strong interest in Italian culture. The courses in the minor give students a wide knowledge of Italian literary and cultural phenomena. The Italian Studies minor excellently compliments students majoring in Art History, Politics, History, Media and Communication Studies, International Business, and many other disciplines. The minor in Italian Studies also pairs well with courses in the Certificate Program in European Studies.
