Language and Culture Studies (B.A.)
Objectives: To link language training with an in-depth understanding of the culture associated with the target language; to offer students an experience of immersion in a foreign culture, and fluency in the language of a place, as a means of direct involvement and engagement with the people and customs of French or Spanish-speaking societies.
Requirements: This track may be completed in French or Spanish. Core courses are French or Spanish 101, 102, 201, 202, 205, 300, 402, one literature course at the 300 level, and six semester hours completed with an approved study abroad program in a French- or Spanish-speaking country. Language 403 is the senior project; it will be designed to increased students’ knowledge of a French- or Spanish-speaking country or region, in their particular field of interest. The college mathematics requirement is met by Mathematics 121 or another 100-level mathematics or statistics course. The student also selects a minor in another discipline or the contextual and support area which requires eight courses from no more than two disciplines chosen in consultation with the department. The minor or contextual and support area will clearly relate another discipline to the student’s particular area of interest in the language and place chosen for study.
