Overview
The Minor in Italian, offered by the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, focuses on learning the Italian language.
Students declaring a minor in Italian are encouraged to study abroad. Temple has its own campus in Rome, Italy, which offers courses in a variety of fields, including language, art, art history, architecture and international business. Students interested in studying in Italy should discuss their plans with the Italian faculty advisor as early as possible.
