1Spanish, French, German should be selected as a specialization within Modern Language (MLANG). Program results in a second major in the area of modern language chosen.

2All Secondary Education MLANG Majors are strongly encouraged to study abroad for a period of at least one semester.

3Before enrolling in EDUC 314 , students are required to pass a proficiency exam at the intermediate-high level.

4Students whose specialization within Modern Language is Spanish are required to take SPAN 320 , and SPAN 321  and three of the following: SPAN 313 , SPAN 314 , SPAN 330  and/or SPAN 331 . In Spanish, there is no Advanced Stylistics II.

5Students who begin their major language at the 311 level will take 6 fewer credits in the major and 6 more credits in the cognate or free area. In their second year, they will choose advanced language electives.

6The 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.
