Modern Languages (B.A.)
|
|
A major consists of classes above the 100 level taken in the same language, except for Spanish. (Spanish courses apply beginning with SPAN 361.) With the exception of transfer credit or credit by examination that is approved by the department, students who major in modern language must either (a) receive a grade of C or higher in all courses counted toward the major or (b) have a GPA of at least 2.50 in all courses counted toward the major.
Note: Literature courses in translation may not be applied toward the major. Two non-transfer courses are required at the 700 level.
The Department of Modern Languages strives to provide the best possible learning environment for its students, and for this reason we take very seriously the placement of students in courses that match their abilities. Each class in the sequence of our courses is designed so that students advance in reading, listening, writing, speaking, and cultural proficiency. In order to best serve each individual, the Department reserves the right to remove students from the rosters of classes that do not correspondto their proficiency levels. Students who have acquired advanced language skills abroad or at home must consult with Modern Languages staff in order to determine their appropriate entry point in our language sequence. Students who begin their coursework at advanced levels may qualify for retroactive credit in as many as four courses. For details, please see the Department of Modern Languages website.
