Bachelor of Arts
in Modern Languages
The Department
of Modern and Classical Languages offers a BA in Modern
Languages with two specializations, Spanish and French.
Students
majoring in foreign language have gone on to graduate school
in advanced language study or international business, have
entered the teaching profession, or have obtained positions in
translation services and bilingual capacities in business and
industry and in travel agencies.
The beginning
courses (101-102), or the equivalent, are prerequisites for
all other courses; however, they may not be applied toward
fulfillment of the required program in any language. They may
be applied to the six hours required in the second language
and will be applied as part of the 42-43 hours of elective
