 ITALIAN
College of Arts and Letters
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Italian program offers its students a strong foundation in Italian
language, literature, and civilization. Students who concentrate on Italian
studies may teach in secondary schools, be admitted to graduate school,
work in translating and interpreting firms, or work at the national or
international level for Italian firms or American firms dealing with Italy.
Statistics show that Sacramento State graduates are in graduate programs, are teaching
Italian, or are working in international programs, using their preparation
from the Sacramento State Italian program.
Special Features
- A very active Italian Club serves as a link between the students and
the large Italian community in Northern California.
- Students may enroll for a junior year abroad with the CSU International
Program in Florence, for which they may receive units toward graduation.
- By enrolling in fieldwork courses, students can tutor or teach in
local parochial schools.
- Students interested in further advanced study in Italian language
and culture may design a Special Major in Italian by consulting program
faculty and spending one year undergoing intensive language study in
Italy. Policies relating to the special major are discussed in this
catalog. See index.
