The Italian Studies program offers an interdisciplinary exploration of Italy's language, literature, history, theater, music, and art. By combining resources from seven departments—History, Linguistics, Literature, Music, Political Science, Theatre and Dance, and Visual Arts—the program allows students to customize their BA degree path. Those pursuing Italian Studies should visit the Study Abroad Office to explore educational opportunities in Italy through UCEAP and OAP. Credits earned abroad can often be transferred back to UC San Diego through petition.
To complete the Italian Studies major, students must take twelve upper-division courses (totaling forty-eight units) across at least three different disciplines from the approved program listings in literature, history, music, political science, theater, and visual arts.
