Students with a Minor in Italian gain proficiencies in the Italian language and culture.  More specifically, students will have an advanced understanding of the differences culturally, linguistically, and gastronomically between Italy and American stereotypes of Italian culture and cuisine. The minor will also allow students to take advantage of study abroad programs in Italy offered by NAU faculty members as well a USAC, which currently offers programs in Milan, Viterbo and Reggio-Emilia.
