Completion of the intermediate-level course (107 or 112) in a given language. Number of credits needed and initial placement will depend on number of years of high school study of foreign language. Students with four or more years of high school work in a single foreign language may attempt to fulfill the requirement in that language by taking an exemption examination.
College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements: (minimum grade C-)
The College Breadth Requirements are in addition to the University Breadth Requirement. Up to 3 credits from each of the University Breadth Requirement categories may be used to simultaneously satisfy these College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements
A total of eighteen credits from Groups A, B and C is required with a minimum of six credits in each group. The six credits from each group could be from the same area.
