Minors in Italian are required to take at least one of the three elective courses within the Italian Department, chosen in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS).
1 For students with no prior knowledge of Italian the required sequence is ITAL UN2101 INTERMEDIATE ITALIAN I, ITAL UN1102 ELEMENTARY ITALIAN II, ITAL UN2101 INTERMEDIATE ITALIAN I, and ITAL UN2102 INTERMEDIATE ITALIAN II. Students with prior knowledge of Italian must take the Italian placement exam before declaring the Minor. Students may be exempted from the language requirement in Italian in one of three ways: a) by presenting a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Italiam Exam; b) by presenting a score of 780 or above on the SAT Subject Test in Italian; c) by obtaining a satisfactory score on the department's placement examination.
