The objective of the minor in a world language is to enable students majoring in any field to acquire proficiency in an additional language, understanding the culture, and knowledge of the countries in which the language is spoken.

Admissions

Application for admission to any University minor program is now available via MyPack Portal. Information about requirements for adding a minor is available on the Student Services Center website. Questions regarding a student’s minor plan of study should be directed to the Italian Studies Minor Coordinator.

Certification

Students should declare the minor as soon as they have completed the first course for the minor, and complete their course work according to their minor degree audit, and the minor requirements. Students can monitor their progress toward completing the minor by viewing their Minor Degree Audit online, anytime, in MyPack Portal. Questions regarding unmet course requirements on the Minor Degree Audit (indicated by a red ‘X’) should be directed to the Minor Coordinator, below. Students contact the Coordinator of Advising, once they have completed all of their courses for the minor, or during the registration period for the student’s final semester at NC State, in order to complete the final certification of the minor. Students will receive official recognition on their transcripts for the completed minor.
