A major in French, German, or Spanish consists of ten course units. One semester abroad is required of all Modern Languages & Literatures majors, in which a minimum of three courses must be taken in the language of study. After completing two courses at the 200 level, students may no longer take 100-level courses. Only one internship in a modern language may be taken for credit towards a major in that language. Students may count either Spanish 110 or 111, but not both, towards a major in Spanish.
