Requirements consist of successful completion of language courses through 210.251-252 Intermediate Italian or equivalent placement; and eight courses from the 211.300-400 Italian Civilization series and 214.200-400 Italian literature series. Two courses in Italian films or film-making, Italian history, or art history are acceptable toward the minimum eight semester courses. Two independent studies are acceptable toward the requirements, but they must be taken after a third year literature course. It is possible to include among the courses required for the major no more than two courses of Italian literature in translation, with the understanding that substantial readings in these courses are done in the original language.
