All regular courses offered by the Department of Modern Languages may be taken by non-majors on an A/Pass/F basis, subject to the provisions of the university policy. Language laboratories are offered only on a Credit/No-Credit basis.
Students majoring in languages should enroll for the bachelor of arts degree.
Programs Offered
Modern Languages offers majors in FRENCH, GERMAN, and SPANISH. Students may combine their Modern Language majors with a major in a different field or college. To accomplish this, students need to complete the requirements for a BA in Modern Languages as well as those for the other major or degree. We also encourage students to consider secondary majors in International Studies or Latin American Studies, or a minor in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian or Spanish to complement their curriculum.

Double majors and dual degrees
