Foreign Language (B.A.)

Required course work includes the university requirements (see regulation J-3), the general requirements for the B.A. degree, and:

In addition to the course work specified for each option, an international experience is required of students pursuing the French or Spanish options. This requirement will normally be fulfilled by completing a program of studies abroad which takes place after the student has finished language study through the intermediate (200) level. The specific program must receive prior approval from the student's FLL advisor and must be one that lasts a minimum of 12-15 weeks. The classes taken must earn a minimum of 12 upper-division (300/400 level) academic credits, be in subjects pertinent to the student's language option, and offered in that language. Such credits may be obtained by two consecutive summer programs.

It is strongly suggested (but not required) that students completing a major in a foreign language offered in the Department of Modern Languages & Cultures (see below) also complete some of their credits through an international experience.
