** A student must complete 6 hours at the sophomore level or above in a single language. The
prerequisite for all sophomore language courses is credit for the freshman level. This credit can
be determined through a placement or CLEP exam. Failure to pass either exam will mean
enrolling in a 5-hour review course during the first year or, in some cases, enrolling for both
beginning (first-year) language courses. See Arts and Sciences General Degree Requirements for
further explanation.
*** The other three hours of this requirement are fulfilled by PSY 1300.
^^^ LPC stands for Language, Philosophy, and Culture (formerly Humanities)
