Declare a Major or Minor!

Interested in one of our programs? Fill out our Major/Minor interest form to let us know and our advisors will reach out to you. Take introductory courses (ITAL 1837, FREN 1501, FRIT 1601), and talk with your academic advisor, department advisors, and professors about the subjects and courses you enjoy most. You can also attend one of our major/minor declaration sessions.

Want to connect with someone right away? Email Trina Whitaker for French or Lorenzo Fabbri for Italian. You can also schedule an advising appointment directly anytime using the French/FRIT or Italian calendars. 

We encourage students to declare while they are still taking 1004 or 3015. Declaring early does not limit your options! It helps you plan future courses, explore study abroad and other immersive experiences, and understand how a major/minor in French or Italian can fit with your other academic and career goals. It also ensures that you receive departmental news, opportunities, and invitations.

Talk to a departmental advisor about how you can combine French and Italian Studies with another major or minor. A double major can help you build a broader set of skills, make connections across fields, and prepare you to communicate, collaborate, and solve problems in a wide range of careers.
