Belka, Chairman Professors: Larry W. Doman, Oren E. Moffett; Associate Professors: Kenneth R. Adams, Jean H. Andra, Robert W. Belka, Leland A. Walser; Assistant Professors: Inge H. Adams, John Z. Kartchner; Instructor-Specialist, Lucie M. Swanson; Associate Staff Member, Tony Spanos. Description —The Department of Foreign Languages provides courses which enable the student to complete the language requirement for the Bachelor of Arts degree and to fill needs in the General Education area. Foreign Language study increases a student's communication skills, enhances his ability to analyze social and cultural problems, and provides him with a knowledge of the fine arts and literature. Students contemplating graduate study should be advised that most advanced degrees require demonstrated competency in one or more foreign languages. In addition, successful language study before entrance into graduate school enhances the probablity of acceptance into competitive graduate programs. Career opportunities are enhanced if a person adds language com- 154 Foreign Languages petence to other requisite skills. (Career information is available in the Department of Foreign Languages.) A Bachelor of Arts degree is offered with a major or teaching major in Foreign Language: French, German or Spanish. Minors and teaching minors in French, German, or Spanish, as well as composite minors, and a departmental honors program are also offered. To complete a language emphasis for the BGS degree a student must complete 20 hours in the classroom, 9 of which must be upper division. Credit granted through special examination will not apply. Language Requirement for the Bachelor of Arts Degree —A candidate for a Bachelor of Arts degree must demonstrate competence in one or more foreign languages. This requirement must be met upon the completion of one of the following: (1) 24 hours of credit in one or more languages, (2) the successful completion of foreign language 202, (3) earning a "C" grade or better in any upper division foreign langage course not taught in translation, or (4) proof of competence through testing. (Students anticipating graduate study or completing their degree at another institution should meet this requirement in one language. Students in the Fine Arts may find the option of using more than one language attractive.) Foreign nationals desiring to use English as a second language to meet the language requirement for the Bachelor of Arts degree must receive verification of their English proficency through the English Department. Special Examination —Students may obtain a maximum of 25 hours of credit by doing one of the following: (1) pass a special examination, if previous credit at this level has not been granted, (2) earn a "C" grade or better in an upper division language class. Upon payment of a nominal fee, credit earned in this fashion is recorded as "credit" on the transcript and does not affect the student's GPA. Similarity, a student may receive credit for 15 hours (the equivalent of the first year) through examination or by earning a "C" grade or better in foreign language courses 201 or 202. The Foreign Language Department may accept results from other foreign language testing centers as evidence of language proficiency. Application for the special examination for credit is to be made at the office of the Department of Foreign Languages.
