Recommended:
A concentration of the 12 departmental and/or college electives in one area can easily become a minor in another language, discipline, or a certificate, with minimal additional course work. This option is recommended especially for those seeking admission to graduate programs in the Humanities, or those who seek a wider humanities background.
Double Major in the College or University:
You might consider combining the B.A. in Italian with another discipline (including areas in other colleges), depending on your future career plans. At all times, make sure you seek the advice of faculty in both departments or programs and make sure they both monitor your progress towards the degree. Consult the Registrar’s office for the most recent information and guidelines.
Certificates:
Related certificates are offered in: Classical Studies, Ethnic Studies, Film and Video Studies, Jewish Studies, Caribbean and Latin American Studies, and Women’s Studies.
