Requirements


 

I. Core Curriculum Requirements


 

II. College of Arts and Sciences Requirements


  • Modern Language 115, 125, 135, or equivalent (15)

NOTE:


All students with a major in the College of Arts and Sciences must demonstrate competency through the level of 135 in a language other than English.  This competency is ordinarily achieved by successful completion of the three-course sequence: 115, 125, and 135.  Because these courses are a college requirement, no courses in the sequence may be taken on a pass/fail, correspondence, or audit basis.  Placement into other than the beginning course of the sequence is achieved by acceptable performance on the Modern Language Competency Examination.  See the Modern Languages Department for details on the examinations.  Courses used to satisfy the College of Arts and Sciences modern language department may not be used to fulfill political science major requirements.
