Coursework in American Sign Language, French, and Spanish is offered by members of the faculty of the Division of Literature, Languages, and Philosophy. Coursework in foreign languages emphasizes instruction in the fundamentals of syntax, pronunciation, and idiomatic expressions. There is a four-way approach to teaching foreign languages (listening/comprehension, conversing, reading, and writing). Instruction takes place in both the classroom and the foreign language laboratory, where students practice speaking and pronunciation and where they watch video material, films, or documentaries in the foreign language they study. Intermediate and upper-level courses stress the acquisition of communicative skills and cultural or literary information.

Students who pursue a baccalaureate degree are required to complete six semester credit hours of a foreign language (101 and 102 or 171 and 172) as part of the Liberal Studies Requirements, or to demonstrate elementary knowledge in a foreign language by making the necessary score on an AP examination or on a CLEP examination (see Proficiency Examination Programs in Registration and Academic Records). Foreign language proficiency examinations are also available to those who seek advanced placement in a foreign language or exemption from the foreign language requirement (see the Catalog subsection on Proficiency Examination Programs). Elementary foreign language courses 101 and 102 or 171 and 172 must be taken in sequence and in the same language.

To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, students must complete a total of 121 semester credit hours including a 36-credit-hour core, nine hours in supporting electives chosen from a specific list of courses in foreign languages, a three-hour support course and 16 credit hours in free electives. A total of 45 semester credit hours at the 300/400 level are required for graduation.
