Major or Minor Application Form

Coursework for the major and/or minor in Italian, French and Spanish begins at the 200 level, which is advanced intermediate. This corresponds to the fifth semester of college study (directly after 152 in each language). An AP score of 4 or 5, four years of intensive language study in high school, and/or direct language experience from living abroad or being raised in a foreign-language-speaking family may also qualify a student to begin taking courses at this level.

The major and minor degree tracks build upon advanced intermediate skills on the 200 level, to continue onto the 300 and 400 levels, with advanced language courses and content-based courses that focus on literature, culture, linguistics and language for special purposes (such as business and medicine).

Before declaring a major or minor, please consult the language concentration of choice (French, Italian or Spanish) to ensure you have met all requirements. Students are also strongly encouraged to meet with an RLL advisor prior to submitting the declaration form.
