Can you have a degree in a language course? Like I get you can minor in languages, but can you major in it? Also what's his minor going to be if it is possible to major in a language course.

I'm not even American and I can see that this story is made up BS.

You can solely major in a language.

University if Washington’s offerings for Asian languages are included here: https://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/program/S/AsianLanguagesandLiterature-144.html

English: https://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/program/S/English-136.html

Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and others: https://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/program/S/ScandinavianStudies-281.html

And there are more like German, near eastern languages, Spanish, and Slavic languages.

If you want an example of Italian, go to Santa Clara University: https://www.scu.edu/cas/modernlanguages/academic-programs/italian/

Or Uc Davis: https://www.ucdavis.edu/majors/italian

Or ASU: https://degrees.apps.asu.edu/bachelors/major/ASU00/LAITABA/italian?init=false&nopassive=true

You really shouldn’t underestimate what you can major in in college. If you’re interested in it, there’s probably a program for it somewhere, or a college with enough classes that you can build a program for it.
