Language requirement for degree programs
If your College or School (Liberal Arts, Business, Journalism, etc.) or degree (normally a B.A.) has a foreign language requirement, you are required to demonstrate competence in a second language through one of the following three options:
- Complete a fourth-semester college course in a second language. Most fourth-semester language courses are numbered 212; AM 148 and SPAN 227 also satisfy this requirement.
- Demonstrate proficiency in a second language through means determined by the Department of World Languages and Literatures, including, but not limited to, providing standardized test scores (CBAPE, SAT II, or IB), test scores from an accredited foreign language proficiency test (e.g., Avant), or transcript evidence of a high school or equivalent diploma in which English was not the language of instruction.
- Participate in a study abroad program that incorporates intermediate coursework in a second language. Coursework must be pre-approved by the Department of World Languages and Literature to satisfy the foreign language requirement.
