The Italian Studies Minor
The Italian Studies Minor (18 credits) offers outstanding preparation for graduate school, or a career in international business, diplomacy, teaching, social work and the law. Recent graduates of the Italian program have established careers in finance, tourism and the fashion industry, and some have gone on to the best law schools in the United States. Students with majors in any field are encouraged to consider the advantages of a minor program that provides focused attention on the history, language, and culture of a country and people whose experiences continue to be fundamental in shaping the modern world.
