Italian Studies Major

All students new to SLLC courses must take the online World Language Placement (WLP) before registering for classes.

Note: Students with prior experience in Italian may satisfy these prerequisites with an appropriate Foreign Language Placement Assessment (FLPA) score.

For information on study abroad programs see the undergraduate advisor and contact UMD Education Abroad.

We recommend that interested students declare their major as early as possible.

Step 1: Carefully read ITAL major requirements and download the ITAL Major Advising Worksheet.

Step 2: Read through all information carefully and pencil in a sequence of courses on the worksheet to discuss with the program advisor.

Step 3: Contact the Office of Student Affairs at the College of Arts and Humanities (301-405-2108) to make an appointment to discuss the non-Italian aspects of your 4-year-plan (bring signed form from previous step), including CORE courses. Walk-in hours are also available.

Step 4: If you are adding Italian as an additional major, check with your home department and college to identify paperwork you may need to complete.

The Italian undergraduate advisor is available for consultation about any aspect of your study of Italian. To ensure that you have fulfilled all the requirements for graduation, the department recommends that every Italian major confer with an advisor at registration time each semester.

Office hours are posted in Jiménez 1104 Hall.
