B.A. in Italian
Student Placement
Wondering which course is right for you? If so, you are in the right place.
Please take the Italian placement quiz or reference the table below to get an approximate idea of which course is the right fit for you. Since the quiz does not assess what you can do with the target language, your proficiency level may require you move up or down a level from your initial estimated placement. Welcome to the Italian Program!
