Credit by Exam
Returned missionaries and others with extensive non-academic
foreign language experience may test out of 101, 102 and 201 and
begin their studies at the 202 level (302 for Spanish). For information about foreign language credit by exam, visit our department
website at http://www.byui.edu/languages-international-studies.
Native speakers are ineligible for these exams.
Because credit and time constraints are tight, students with high
school language experience should begin their studies at the highest
level possible. For more information, visit or email a teacher in the
language you wish to study.
Introduction
Ours is a world in which all types of formal and informal interaction
between peoples of varied backgrounds and languages is increasingly
possible and important. During this era of rapid globalization, more
than ever before everyone can benefit from the vital skills of languages, cultural knowledge, and global competency. In the Doctrine and
Covenants we are counseled to learn “of things which are at home
[and] things which are abroad: the wars and the perplexities of the
nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge
also of countries and of kingdoms—that ye may be prepared in all
things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto
I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned
you” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:79-80). We are further counseled
in the 90th Section to “study and learn, and become acquainted with
all good books, and with languages, tongues, and people” (Doctrine
and Covenants 90:15).
Bachelor of Arts Foreign Language and Previous General
Education Requirement
Students earning Bachelor of Arts degrees on the previous G.E.
program need to take an eleven-hour sequence of courses in one of
the following languages:
-Chinese 102, 201, and 347*
-French 102, 201, and 202*
-German 102, 201, and 202*
-Russian 102, 201, and 340*
-Spanish 102, 201, and 202* or 302*
*Non-native speakers of other foreign languages may test out of at
least eight credits in the language and then take Language 410.
Native speakers should begin at the 321 level in French, German
and Spanish and at the 301 level in Chinese and at the 202 level in
Russian. However, if the native speaker is an education major or education minor in a language, he or she should begin studies at the 202
level (302 in Spanish).
International Studies (major, minor, and cluster)
The purpose of the International Studies program (major, minor,
and cluster) is to provide an avenue for students wishing to maximize
the opportunity for linguistic and international competence while
developing a disciplinary specialty that would allow them to enter
the workforce directly or to prepare them for graduate school in a
number of different disciplines or professions.
This degree is unique in its modular structure, including a core in
Economics, History, Geography, and Political Science, area studies
in culture, and the flexibility to choose a minor or clusters. Students
must demonstrate language proficiency at the third-year level. Students may also take a minor or cluster in International Studies.
Note: If you are interested in obtaining a language teaching minor
(which requires an oral Praxis exam) and you have not already lived
in the target country, it is strongly recommended that you participate
in a semester abroad or equivalent program.
