Objectives
 The
Italian program at Erindale is designed to provide a comprehensive study
of the many facets of Italy, a country whose culture continues to be a
significant force in the shaping of Western civilization. Literature and
cinema courses are organized around major figures, movements or genres,
as well as Italian life and civilization. Language is studied scientifically
from all points of view -- practical, stylistic, philological and historical
-- at all levels of instruction.
In Canada, the strong presence of large Italian communities provides
a social, intellectual and practical incentive for the study of Italian.
Students are free to design for themselves the program of study best suited
to their interests and needs, and they can choose from available courses
at UTM and at the St. George Campus. There are conditions, however, which
must be satisfied for:
-
specialization in Italian alone or in Language Teaching and Learning
-
a major in Italian alone or Italian and French
-
a major in Language Teaching and Learning in Italian alone or Italian and
French
-
a minor in Italian alone or in Cinema Studies
-
a specialist in International Affairs, which requires a language component
Knowledge of another language and culture
is regarded favourably by other disciplines and is frequently required
for graduate-level studies. Graduates in Italian are in demand and will
continue to be. UTM's Italian graduates have moved on to advanced studies
and to careers in business, journalism, teaching, translation, transportation,
foreign affairs, government, social services, trade, law, and other fields
where skills in Italian are a necessity.
In the case of uncertainty with regard to the program of study, course
content, graduate studies requirements, or any related matter, students
are strongly advised to consult the Associate Chairman for Italian at UTM.
