Italian Studies Minor

Declaring a major or minor in Italian studies is a three-step process:

• Print a petition for the major or minor and fill it out to the best of your ability. Be sure to indicate your expected graduation term (EGT) on the petition. Your EGT is visible in your student advising summary or on your My.UCSC student portal.
• Meet with the Italian studies program director in order to discuss your plans and fill out a major or minor checklist.
• Meet with with an Italian studies staff adviser in order to review and complete your declaration form. In order to schedule an appointment with a staff adviser, email [e-mail], call [phone], or come to the Literature Department office (Humanities 1, room 303).
