Minor Advising

Professor Lynn Westwater handles all advising for Italian minors. Our department does not currently offer a B.A. in Italian Language and Literature. If you are interested in pursuing an interdisciplinary Italian major based around your interests, you must receive approval from the dean’s office. Please contact Prof. Westwater for more information.

Please note that Prof. Westwater does not teach over the summer. It is important that you make any appointments before the end of the spring semester, or instead wait until the start of the fall.
