Toyoko Rang Description The Department of Foreign Languages offers courses in language, literature and culture that enable students to complete various institutional requirements. We prepare students to function effectively in a foreign language while gaining an understanding and appreciation of humanistic ideals and values. Mastery of a language is the hallmark of a world citizen. A bachelor of arts degree is offered with a regular (or teaching) major or minor in French, German, or Spanish. A Japanese minor as well as composite minors, and a departmental honors program are also offered. It is possible to obtain a language emphasis for the BIS degree by completing 20 hours, 16 of which must be upper-division course work. Courses in other languages are offered on a regular basis. The curriculum is based on a National Standard for measuring proficiency. Each course is designed to foster linguistic skills and to increase the students' ability to participate in the culture. Language Requirement for the Bachelor of Arts Degree A candidate for a bachelor of arts degree must demonstrate competency at the intermediate low level in one foreign language. This requirements can be met by: (1) successfully completing HU203, (2) passing a departmental proficiency evaluation, (3) earning a minimum grade of "C" in any upper- division language course not taught in English. Credit for English as a Second Language Students for whom English is a second language may receive 24 hours of foreign language credit in English to meet the B.A. requirement.
