Introduction
to Italian Studies
Italian Studies is
an interdisciplinary program in the language, literature, history, music,
theatre and art of Italy. Italian Studies coordinates the resources of
the Departments of History, Literature, Music, Theatre and Dance, and
Visual Arts, and offers students the opportunity to design a major, leading
to a B.A., around the course offerings of these five departments.
Students in Italian
Studies are encouraged to participate in the University
of California Education Abroad Program (EAP), which is affiliated
with Universities in the cities of Siena, Padova, Milan, Rome and Bologna; this provides the
possibility of a junior year abroad, including both language courses and
courses dealing with various aspects of Italian studies. EAP credits may
be transferred back to UCSD to coordinate with on-campus offerings.
The Major Program
A major in Italian
Studies consists of a choice of twelve upper-division courses in literature,
history, music, theatre, and visual arts approved for the program and
listed below. Courses in other areas of Italian Studies taken abroad or on campus may also apply. Each of the three areas (literature, history and visual
arts) must be represented in the student's program of study.
The particular courses
making up each student's major will be selected in consultation with the
program adviser. The study of Dante (LTIT 115) is a required course
for all Italian Studies majors.
The
Minor Program
A minor in Italian Studies consists of seven upper-division courses from
among those listed below (at least two each from literature, history and
visual arts). Credit from the EAP program may be applied toward the minor.
