English-taught departmental courses have no language prerequisites, making them ideal for students from other departments with an interest in Italian culture.
Our Italian language program uses interactive teaching methods that combine speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. Course materials go beyond grammar and vocabulary, immersing students in Italian culture through diverse content. From beginner to advanced levels, students engage with literary works, cultural resources, and multimedia including films, books, and operas alongside core textbooks.
The elementary and intermediate Italian curriculum helps students meet the College's language requirement while providing strong preparation for advanced language and literature courses conducted in Italian. Additional conversation-focused classes help refine speaking abilities.
Dedicated students can opt for accelerated elementary or intermediate Italian, each condensing a full year's curriculum into one semester. Advanced Italian courses, while designed for majors and concentrators, welcome any qualified student seeking to enhance their language proficiency.

Qualification Requirements
The Committee on Admissions selects women of proven academic strength who exhibit intellectual voracity and strong potential for further scholarly growth. In addition to school records, recommendations, writing, and test scores, we carefully consider candidates' talents, abilities, interests, and personal history. While admission is highly selective, it is also holistic; no one criterion or score determines acceptance. We consider each applicant in terms of her personal qualities, her intellectual capacity, and the rigor of the curriculum she has pursued, as well as her potential for achieving at Barnard. We review each applicant in the context of her school, community, and individual story.
Barnard's general education requirements cover a wide range of subjects: literature, the social sciences, language and the arts, lab sciences, and quantitative areas. For this reason, you should acquire a strong foundation in high school, taking courses from the core academic subjects: math, science, English, history, and foreign language.
