Most of our lower-division courses are offered during the morning; upper-division courses during the morning or early afternoon, and graduate seminars from 4:10 to 6:55 pm. First- and second-semester Italian courses are 5 units each.
All others are 3-unit courses, with the exception of our individual-study courses, which range from 1 to 3 units. All courses are conducted in Italian to offer students maximum exposure to the language.
For a teaching credential in Italian, students should contact an advisor as soon as possible for proper scheduling of classes in Italian and Education. We are certified by the State of California through June 30, 2010 to teach and evaluate content-courses for the Single-subject Teaching Credential in Italian.
