Bachelor of Arts in Italian

The study of French or Italian language and literature sharpens analytical and communicative skills useful in a myriad of professional contexts. Students develop proficiency in listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and they learn to use literature as a means to deepen their understanding of culturally specific as well as universal issues and values. Italian and French are valuable research and communication tools for students in music, art, history, European studies, international relations, library science, and comparative literature. Many have chosen a major or minor in Italian or French in addition to a second major or minor in an area such as accounting or business management, or as preparation for professional programs in public administration, business administration, organizational behavior, dentistry, law, or medicine. Many of our students have opted for a career in government service, working with an embassy, the State Department, the CIA, and other government agencies. Other students have gone into travel and tourism, working with tour agencies, airlines, major hotel chains, or resort communities.The French and Italian Department requires a minimum of 15 major hours to be taken in residence at BYU for this degree program. These hours may also go toward BYU's 30-hour residency requirement for graduation.Complete a minor (approximately 16-21 hours) or 15 hours of course work in an area approved by the major advisor. Courses must be approved before the senior year.
