Italian

Course Overview

The TCU Italian Program course offerings allow students to develop language proficiency, cultural competency, and advanced literacy skills with emphasis on the four areas of linguistic communication: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Many Italian courses carry TCU core requirement designations (HUM, LT, HT, CA, WEM). To earn a minor in Italian at TCU, students take courses in advanced grammar and composition, conversation, culture, cinema, and literature, and have the opportunity to study broad in semester and year-long programs available through the TCU Center for International Studies. A minor in Italian may greatly enhance studies in other languages, as well as art history, music, business, political science, English, education, design, and many more.
