World Languages Major, B.A. (Spanish Concentration)

The Department of Literature and Language offers courses in French, German, Greek, Latin, Japanese, and Spanish designed to give the student a working knowledge of a language in the areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking, and to help create in students an appreciation and understanding of languages and cultures other than their own. In addition to the cultural objective and personal satisfaction, the student will find that world language study is an aid in scientific study, business, foreign trade, travel, and international politics. Several programs of study leading to the B.A. in world languages are available. The traditional major, with concentrations in French, German, Japanese, or Spanish, emphasizes the liberal arts training needed in a variety of jobs. These include library or museum work, general business, and teaching. These curricula are designed to help prepare students for employment in fields where knowledge of a world language is of particular advantage. In addition to the General Education Core Requirements, there are degree requirements in the College of Arts and Sciences outlined in the earlier pages of this section.

For first-time freshman applicants, official high school transcripts are required. Specific GPA requirements 2.3 (based on a 4.0 scale)
