Italian majors should begin the study abroad advising process as early as possible to make study abroad fit into the four year curriculum. Tell your academic advisor that you are interested in study abroad at each registration appointment. Together, identify the best terms to go abroad, for summer or semester, based on the courses in your four-year-plan.
Specific things to consider:
- To take full advantage of the academic and professional opportunities, consider taking into the advanced sequence of Italian language. This will give firm academic footing for courses/internships pursued in Italy.
- If you are double majoring, it is critical that you discuss study abroad with your adviser to ensure the proper time to go overseas for both majors.
- Students can take no more than 2-3 major classes towards the Italian major.
Search the OEA Course Approval History database to select from courses that have already been pre-approved for liberal education requirements and a growing list of technical courses.
The Course Approval History database is not all-inclusive and students can work with an OEA advisor to submit additional courses for review.
Don't forget - CLAS has a list of policies and limitations specifically focused on study abroad. Make sure you're aware of these as you plan your overseas experience.
