- Explore Italian culture, orally and in writing, through an interdisciplinary perspective.
- Possess knowledge of social, artistic, political and historical issues relevant to Italy and diversity in contemporary Italy.

Note
Students may also choose from a list of electives taught at the College or in Italy (in Italian or in English) and request approval for a course from the program director, Prof. D. Valentini. The list of courses is updated every semester, so please contact the program director for an approved list of electives.
Study Abroad for Italian Studies Minors
If a student chooses to study abroad, up to two courses taken in Italy can be counted toward the minor with consent by the Director. After a preliminary meeting with the International Programs Office, each student taking Italian in Italy must obtain the approval of the Italian Studies Program Director and signature.
The credits will be transferred to Stonehill, only if the approval is granted prior to the beginning of the course. No approvals will be granted retroactively.
