Italian

专业介绍

The Italian program at UW–Madison offers students opportunities for growth in the language and for increased cultural fluency through dynamic, in-class learning experiences and multiple extracurricular components such as the Italian Club, Circolo della bella lingua (a regular language meet-up geared toward allowing students of all levels to practice their Italian speaking in an informal setting) and Cineteca Italiana, which organizes weekly screenings of Italian films.

Students intending to major in Italian or complete the certificate enter the program at the appropriate level depending on their language proficiency. If you have previous experience in the Italian language, please contact the undergraduate advisor for more information about the informal Italian placement test.  

Students have the option to take a class for Honors at almost all levels. For more information, please see the department website and/or consult the undergraduate advisor.
