1 Students who begin language at the Advanced (311) level will take 6 fewer credits in the major and 6 more credits in the cognate or free elective area in either the junior or senior year. In their second year, they will choose advanced language electives.

2 French majors are required to take FREN 320 .  Spanish majors will take SPAN 320  and SPAN 321  and three of the following four courses: SPAN 313 , SPAN 314 , SPAN 330 , or SPAN 331 .

3Recommended GE electives include a second language or history, political science, art history or other courses relevant to world area(s) of interest, such as HIST 125 /126  and PS 219 /323  for Latin America, HIST 132 -133 , PS 213  and ARTH 211  for Africa.  Consult with your adviser.

4The selection of a First Year Seminar is likely to fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement.  Thus, the First Year Seminar will not add to the total credits for the semester.  Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.

5An approved 3-credit EP Foundation Course may be substituted for COMM 100  and C/IL 102 .
