I am a doctoral student and have a language requirement that I fulfill by successfully completing a 4th semester language class. Can I take the first three semesters pass/fail and then take the 4th semester for a grade?
Yes.
What Italian courses are offered during the summer?
We offer ITAL 1010 and ITAL 2110.
What is the difference between ITAL 2120 and ITAL 2130? Can I take them at the same time?
2120 is an intermediate grammar and composition course, and 2130 is an introduction to Italian literature course. They are both required for the major and minor. Excellent students of Italian can take the courses together if approved by the Italian advisor.
Can any Italian courses for major/minor credit be taken pass/fail?
No. All courses must be taken for a grade and students must earn a C- to move to the next level.
I have lived in Italy and speak some Italian but I don't know what course to take. What do you recommend?
You will need take a Placement Exam with ALTEC.
