Foreign Culture & Foreign Language Courses
All BA students are required to complete either the Foreign Language option (6-8 credits) or the Foreign Culture option (6 credits), in either case with grades of C or higher.
Foreign Language Option
- Select one two-course sequence of Spanish, French, Chinese, German, Latin, or American Sign Language.
- Students with prior experience in French or Spanish must take a placement exam to determine the appropriate course to begin with. Students who place above the beginning level will satisfy the Foreign Language option by earning a "C" or better in the second French or second Spanish course into which they have placed.
- Students who complete a 3000-level French or Spanish course with a "C" or above have demonstrated the mastery that is required in the two-course French or Spanish sequence and may request retroactive credit for the sequence. The retroactive credit will either be 3 or 6 credits, depending on their placement following the exam.
- This policy applies to Chinese as well, placement being determined by the professor of the program.
FC Foreign Culture Option
- Students who successfully completed 2 years of foreign language in high school have the option of taking 6 hours of foreign culture courses instead of 6-8 hours of college level foreign language.
