Why Study Italian?
Career Education – Academic Success – Personal Development
Italy is one of the top eight economies in the world, and is a member of the G8 Group of the wealthiest democracies. A knowledge of Italian is useful for those planning careers in the fashion, automotive, viticulture, and hospitality industries, as well as in art history, music, linguistics, education, international relations, and many other fields. American companies expanding in Italy have a great demand for software designers, systems engineers, technical support, marketers and managers who know both Italian and English.
Spoken by c. 85 million people worldwide, Italian is also the language closest to both Spanish and English—so Spanish-speakers in particular learn it quickly and improve their abilities in those languages also. Why? Both Italian and Spanish evolved from Latin, and an estimated 60% of English vocabulary comes directly from Latin!
Note: Italian courses numbered 1-49 are transferable to the University of California (UC) and the California State University (CSU). Courses numbered 50-99 are transferable to the California State University. All Italian courses provide credit for the Associate degree. Italian 1-4 fulfill General Education requirements at SRJC, CSU, and UC.
