Advising
This advice does not replace Italian Studies minor requirements in the undergraduate catalog. Please reach out to Dr. Laura Edwards with any questions or concerns.
The Italian Studies minor requires 25 hours of ITA courses and electives.
The number of courses you will need to take depends upon AP credit, Seal of Biliteracy, and the level of Italian at which you start at ISU (because you can earn CAP credit for free that can count toward the minor).
Courses that may count toward elective credit:
- IDS 121A19: Texts and Contexts: Literary Studies (GE: LH) when it is Italian content
- IDS 121A20: Modern and Contemporary Italy in Italian Film GE: LH
- IDS 133: Italian Food Culture: Bologna, Italy (Only during ISU in Bologna study abroad) GE: LH
