Descriptions
Students interested in acquiring proficiency in Italian can enroll
in language courses from beginning to advanced levels. In addition,
students may select from among the following programs: a major or
minor in language studies, a major in literature
with an emphasis in Italian literature,
a major in global economics, or
a major in Italian studies.
The sequence of lower-division courses 1-6 is aimed at enabling
students to gain proficiency in aural comprehension, speaking, reading,
and writing skills. Another sequence of lower-division courses,
equivalent to levels 1, 2, and 3, is courses 1A and 1B, offering
intensive Italian language instruction. Classes are taught in Italian
from the beginning level.
Information on these topics can be found under Language
Program.
The UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) sponsors programs of study
for one year in Bologna, Padua, and Trento and semester programs
in Milano and Venice. Students applying to the year-long study centers
in Italy must have completed through Italian 6 before the period
of study begins. Generally, students apply in their sophomore year
for a junior year abroad. As an exception, some students apply in
their junior year for a senior year abroad; such students must sometimes
spend an additional quarter at UCSC in order to satisfy all requirements
for the major. Students may also spend a quarter or a semester in
Siena, Italy. Courses taken abroad can, with approval of an adviser,
be applied to major requirements. For more information on the program,
see UC Education Abroad Program.
For information on credit applied to a major, contact the appropriate
department.
