Minor in Italian
Why choose a Minor in Italian?
Knowledge of the Italian language, literature, arts, cinema, history, and culture is an asset in contemporary society. It allows you to meaningfully interact in a second (or third, or fourth) language, and it is productively instrumental to the study of a range of disciplines, from the sciences to the arts, and is particularly relevant to the study of music, aesthetics and art history. At AV俱乐部, students can now earn an Italian Minor by completing a minimum of 3 full credits. That is, 6 semesters of classes in Italian.
