Degree Requirement
The B.A. degree requires competence in one foreign language at the fourth university level (2002). This requirement is met by all modern foreign language majors.
Other Requirements
- A grade of C or better must be earned in all courses that count toward the major program.
- A minimum of 39 semester hours must be taken at the 3000-4000 level.
- Complete First-Year Academic Seminar with a satisfactory grade. Students who transfer to GCSU are exempt from this requirement.
- Majors are required to study French or Spanish in a French- or Spanish-speaking country during their junior or senior year: Maymester, Summer I or Summer II, a semester or a full year. Course equivalents must be worked out with the Office of International Education and the Department of Modern Foreign Languages prior to departure. Scholarships for study abroad are available from the Office of International Education. In cases of hardship, exceptions can be made: an internship with an international company, a senior service learning project or other projects approved by the chair and the faculty can be substituted. The French Government's English Assistant program for French majors can be used as a substitute.
Students who wish to pursue teacher certification with a field in Spanish through the Four-Plus-One program, which allows the students to receive both certification and a master's degree in one extra year of study, should pursue a B.A. in Spanish first. In addition, the department recommends that they join the Future High School Educators Club in order to start making contacts in the School of Education and to learn more about this Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree. Students who would like to pursue teacher education are encouraged to take: For P-12 certifications Spanish: EDUC 2110 Investigating Critical and Contemporary Issues in Education.
