Why study Italian Language and Culture?

The Italian Certificate is an interdisciplinary program that explores the language, cultures, economics, history, geography, and politics of Italy. Students may also study abroad in Italy.

Admission Requirements

Students already pursuing a degree in any college at UC can add the certificate to their program. Be sure to submit a declaration of the certificate program using the Declare an Undergraduate Certificate online form.

In addition, you must meet with the program director so that they are aware that you are pursuing the certificate and can advise you appropriately. Do this early enough to avoid delay in obtaining your certificate.

Students not currently pursuing a degree may declare the certificate after establishing non-matriculated status.

Students in this program usually possess strong verbal skills, some facility with languages and a desire to travel and interact with other cultures. Success factors include a disciplined attitude, willingness to participate in class, regular exposure to the language.
