CU offers several programs in Italy and four of these are approved for Italian majors and minors. Italian majors who participate in other program options in Italy will likely not fulfill Italian major or minor requirements.

Academic Advising & Course Approvals

During the Education Abroad program selection process, Italian majors/minors should consult with the Italian Academic Advisor, Christine Luft. Students will also consult with Education Abroad Advisors throughout the program selection/application process, but should refer to the Italian department for academic question and course approvals.  In our department, Priscilla Craven is our Education Abroad liason.

After selecting an Education Abroad program, students should meet with Christine Luft in order to obtain specific course approvals. All Italian majors and minors must meet with Christine prior to studying abroad.

On all CU programs, students receive CU “in residence” credit. For further information about Education Abroad programs, students may visit their primary advisors or the Education Abroad Programs Office.
