The courses, extracurricular activities, and the JBIP provide the student with the opportunity to better his knowledge of the language, culture, and civilization of the language.

Those who wish to teach a foreign language must first consult with the Department of Education.

The requirements for a B.A. Degree with a major in a  foreign language include thirty credit hours of courses in the target language above the 100-level and the approval of the major advisor. Majors and concentrations are available in Spanish and French.  It is also possible to combine two languages in a dual-language major.

The University-wide requirement of an internship should be in an environment related to the language of choice and may contribute up to six credits toward the major.

Fulfillment of the internship requirement may be achieved either in a foreign placement or in an approved local placement.
