One semester study abroad
Two additional semesters of language beyond the college requirement are required for the major
and may be met by (1) continuing in the language in which college proficiency was acquired, (2)
taking another language for two more semesters, or 3) taking two languages for a semester each.
Facility with languages is stressed over fluency, which students with five semesters of the same
language rarely achieve.
