The program successfully integrates interdisciplinary teaching and research in neuroscience through the cooperative interactions of faculty and staff in several departments in the School of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine . Instructors who observe or are made aware of any inappropriate behavior involving other instructors or students are to intervene and talk to the offending person . It supplements majors in history , political science , sociology and art history as well as in French , German , English , Spanish , Italian and Slavic languages . Acknowledging the need for experiencing a culture contextually , the Department of Romance Languages has established several study-abroad programs . Languages offers a major or minor with courses in language , literature , film , linguistics , cultural studies and civilization for students with or without a background in Italian . Ideally , courses would be available year-round , but obviously , there are certain times when demand is greater . Courses offered at the 200 - and 300-level traverse both Italy ’ s classic literary and artistic heritage — Dante , Petrarch , Boccaccio — and more contemporary cultural productions , from globally-noted Italian cinema to studies of Fascism . To enable two or more end users to communicate , several things must be resolved : 1 ) the communicating parties must use the same language ; 2 ) they must agree on how to conduct themselves during the information flow ; and 3 ) they must be able to signal the beginning and the end of communication . At the core of our program is the study of the Italian language , understood both in the narrow sense of verbal communication , but also in the larger sense of textual messages — literary , cinematic , historical , art-historical and mass-cultural . Cooperators in the past two years have included the U.S. Forest Service , U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service , Bureau of Land Management , Natural Resource Conservation Service , Soil and Water Conservation Districts , Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board , Oregon Hunters ’ Association , National Wild Turkey Federation , Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation , and several private landowners . When this is not the case , it is your responsibility to make the student aware of the importance of learning . The degree is administered by the Center for East Asian Studies , an interdisciplinary institution that also facilitates interdepartmental initiatives and outreach programs . Some mathematics majors interact with the graduate students and take several graduate mathematics courses . Most majors are double majors and find that their work in Italian studies prepares them not only for further work in Italian , but also gives them a unique vantage point for careers in economics , law , science , medicine , international relations and education .
