Italian Studies offers a Certificate of Advanced Language Study. A certificate adviser, typically the director of undergraduate studies (DUS), advises students on the certification process and certifies to the university registrar’s office that students have completed the stated requirements before the end of eight terms of study. The Certificate of Advanced Language Study, once certified, is listed on student official transcripts.
Requirements
The requirements for the certificate are listed below.
- Three (3) L5 courses (1500–4500 level)
-
One (1) additional credit-bearing advanced course conducted in Italian or approved by the DUS to ensure that the use of the language in this course is consistent with the certificate’s objectives of advanced language study. This course may be conducted in English, provided all readings and assessments are completed in Italian. Please note that all graduate level courses (6000 or above) are open to undergraduates upon permission of the instructor
Credit/D/Fail No courses taken Credit/D/Fail may be counted toward the requirements of the certificate.
The certificate adviser may allow one “language across the curriculum” (LxC) course, which ordinarily is an advanced seminar with an additional weekly discussion section in the target language, to count toward the certification requirements. The adviser may also approve the substitution of up to two credits earned during study abroad and taught in the target language to count toward the certificate requirements. If the adviser approves courses taken outside of Yale for inclusion in the certificate requirements, students must take the necessary steps to ensure those courses appear on their transcript.
If you wish to pursue the Certificate you will need to complete the required information in the Yale Hub.
