Dual-Language Specialization

The Dual Language track consists of two years of study of two languages. Here the required total of 33 credits reflects the sum of six credits earned at the intermediate level of the second language and 18 credit hours of study in language, literature, and culture at the 3000 level or above and, finally, the nine-credit critical concentration. Students select a principal language of specialization and combine it with any of the other languages taught in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. Course selections for the 18 credits of advanced electives study will reflect the literature and culture of either language of specialization (see below).

Students interested in the Dual Languages specialization must meet with the Undergraduate Coordinators of the languages they have selected and complete this form (Word or pdf) as a first step in the application process.
