Students can now pursue a Minor in Italian Studies. Courses in beginning and intermediate Italian and at least one 3000-level course are offered each semester. Many second and third year Italian language and ITT courses (translation courses taught in English) receive general education credit for humanities and for international and diversity.

Students have the opportunity to study in a UF-sponsored program in Rome during the summer, here they can begin or complete their language requirement and/or take other courses for minor credit, or elective credits. These courses also count toward the nine-hour summer and the last 30-hour residency requirements.

Italian has historically been associated with literature, the arts, history and politics. Studying Italian exposes students to Italy's broad contribution to Western tradition. Italy’s ranking as a G-7 nation means that it figures prominently in world business and commerce. With a knowledge of Italian, graduates will find their work opportunities enhanced in the global market. Students graduating with a minor in Italian Studies from the University of Florida may also pursue graduate studies in Italian Studies at a variety of institutions in the U.S. and beyond.
