Courses Commonly Taught

(All courses carry 3 credits unless otherwise noted.)

Note on Elementary and Intermediate Italian: No more than six credits may be earned for any combination of courses at the Elementary level (ITALIAN 110 through 126). Students wishing to study Italian and who have completed three years of a sequence in this language in Grades 9 through 12 will be placed in ITALIAN 230. Students who meet the above criterion may not normally take ITALIAN 110, 120, or 126 for credit, and must arrange to meet with the department adviser if they wish to do so. Students who believe their abilities warrant credit at a higher level (placement in 240 or above) may establish this by taking a placement exam. No more than six credits may be earned for any combination of courses at the Intermediate level (ITALIAN 230 through 246).
