Notes

*Students are required to complete Introductory Language Core courses unless some or all are waived by the Department based on demonstrated proficiency. Students with absolutely no prior instruction in Italian may enroll in ITA 111. All other students must take the online exam to determine correct placement: https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/romance-languages-literatures/language-placement-testing.html

The introductory sequence consists of four courses: Elementary I, Elementary II, Intermediate I, and Intermediate II

*In contrast, students who do not need the introductory, refresher, or intermediate courses may, with the permission of the Department, begin immediately at the 200 level. Students should consult the RLL website for placement guidelines and e-mail the Department with any questions.

*These totals may vary depending on the level at which the student begins study at UB. Students demonstrably prepared to begin at the 200 level are deemed to have satisfied the Elementary and Intermediate requirements, and for them the total credits required for the minor will be reduced.

Three courses for the major may fulfill the UB Curriculum Global Pathway requirement through the Language and Culture track. Alternatively, courses for the major may help fulfill the Global Reflection track or the International Experience track of the Global Pathway.
