Humanities and Natural Sciences--(16-20 credit hours) Students must complete one of the following two options: OPTION ONE-FOREIGN LANGUAGE (RECOMMENDED OPTION) Total of 16 to 18 credit hours

Complete first-year foreign language requirements: Only required for Option One.

This requirement may be satisfied in one of the following ways:

  1. By completing first-year (10 credit hours) courses in a single language with passing grades;
  2. By completing second-third-year course with a grade of C or better;
  3. By taking a placement test and placing into the 200 level or higher; this waives the 100-level requirement but does not carry with it credit toward graduation.
This requirement may be met with first-year proficiency in American Sign Language.

Placement Test Students with previous experience in French, German, or Spanish should take the Foreign Language Placement Test at the Testing Center to assess their level of language preparation.

Students who have achieved elementary or intermediate proficiency in any other foreign language should confer with the Foreign Languages and Cultures department for placement in the correct level of that foreign language.

Students who complete the course into which they were placed with a grade of C or better are eligible for special credit at a reduced fee for the appropriate lower-division course(s) that precede the course taken. Foreign language special credit counts toward graduation and toward the foreign language requirements.

117 Courses Courses numbered 117 are reserved for students who have never studied the language before. Students who have had two or more years of formal study in a language may take a 117-level course in that language as a refresher course before enrolling in a more advanced course, but they must recognize that their work will graded on a Satisfactory/Fail basis. A grade of S is equivalent to a grade of C.

Non-Native Speakers Students for whom English is not a first language may be exempted from the foreign language requirement, without credit, by completion of ENG W131 and ENG W132 with the required grade of C or better.

Students whose native language is not English may demonstrate proficiency in their native language and earn 3 to 6 hours of 298/299 special credit by successfully completing an appropriate 300-level course. They may not, however, receive credit for taking first- and second-year courses in their native language.
