The Department of Italian Studies participates in the Faculty of Arts and Science’s Language Citation initiative for Italian. Proficiency in Italian is an invaluable asset for those wishing to pursue a career in social work, business, applied science, government, law, medicine or education. A knowledge of Italian complements undergraduate studies in other areas, such as music, fine art, literary studies, European history or political science, to name a few.
The Language Citation recognizes a significant level of achievement in language study with a high level of academic success. The Citation in Italian is available to students who, having completed a first year language course in Italian (ITA100Y1/ITA101Y1/ITA152Y1) (or the equivalent prerequisite training), earn a grade of at least B- in a second-year language course (ITA250Y1/ITA251Y1/ITA252Y1) and in one FCE in Italian language at the 300 or 400 level.
Students should note that, as explained on page 20 of this Calendar, the Language Citation is not equivalent to an academic program and that enrolment in a program is not necessary in order to earn the recognition bestowed by the Citation.
The 199Y1 and 199H1 seminars are designed to provide the opportunity to work closely with an instructor in a class of no more than twenty-four students. These interactive seminars are intended to stimulate the students’ curiosity and provide an opportunity to get to know a member of the professorial staff in a seminar environment during the first year of study. Details here.
