Concentrations in Languages

DIRECTOR

Associate Professor J. Eidt

Concentration Requirements

A Concentration in French, German, Italian or Spanish consists of four courses (twelve credits) in a single language/literature at the advanced level (3000 or above).

For one of the four courses it is possible to substitute

  1. an advanced course in a second language/literature;
  2. two lower-division courses in a second language/literature;
  3. an advanced course in a disciplinary approach to language in general.

Concentration in Area Studies

For students who wish to focus on the culture and history of a country or language group, it is possible to pursue a Concentration in Area Studies. Students complete three upper-division courses in one language/literature, plus two related courses (in history, art, economics, etcetera). Planning is particularly important for this concentration, since related course offerings for a given country are limited. An Area Studies Concentration is possible in Classics, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
