The joint major program (JMP), authorized by the Academic Senate for a pilot period of six years, permits students to major in both Computer Science and Italian Studies. Students completing the JMP receive a B.A.S. (Bachelor of Arts and Sciences). To graduate with a joint major in Computer Science and Italian Studies, students must complete a minimum of 50 units of course work in Italian in addition to the Computer Science requirements for the dual major. These 50 units may not be used towards any other major or minor. Courses applied to the major must be taken for a letter grade, and a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better must be achieved in each course. Relevant courses from other departments or programs may also earn credit toward the major with the prior consent of the Chair of Undergraduate Studies. To enroll in all ITALIAN or ITALLANG courses taught in Italian at or above the 100-level, students must have successfully completed ITALLANG 22A or the equivalent.
