Foreign Language Major and Minor Information
Professor Preble-Niemi, Head
The department offers the B.A. degree in French, Greek and Latin, Lat- in, and Spanish. A student may also pursue a B.A. in humanities degree with an emphasis in classical civilization. Elementary and intermediate German are offered and may be chosen to fulfill the foreign language requirement. Modern language courses, taught in English, which deal with foreign literatures and civilizations, afford the nonforeign language student a broader perspective of other peoples and cultures. There is no prescribed program which departmental majors should follow other than to meet the required number of hours for the respective major. Upper level courses are offered based on student needs. The department also offers minor programs in Latin, Greek, Classics, Spanish, or French. A native speaker of a language which is offered for credit by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures or anyone with native speaker proficiency in such a language must consult the department for proper placement and permission to enroll. During the summer term, modern foreign language courses of 4 semester hours require 600 minutes of language laboratory time in addition to the scheduled class time.
