Fulfilling the Language Requrement in Italian

The language requirement may be fulfilled in Italian in one of two ways:

• By presenting a score of 650 or above on the SAT II in Italian or a comparable score on a written departmental test. Students with an SAT II score between 600-640 are eligible to take an oral test during the first week of the semester; if they pass the oral test, they are exempt from the language requirement.
• By successfully completing Italian 140 or 134.

Once the language sequence is begun at Penn, it cannot be fulfilled by taking course work at another institution without the written permission of the Director of the Italian Language Program.
