Program Requirements

Courses are designed to enable students to acquire a functional knowledge of French, German, Italian, Latin and Spanish. Since the knowledge of a foreign language is closely linked with the culture of a given country, the instructors will offer opportunities for students to experience, appreciate and respect cultural differences through classroom discussions and/or presentation of a variety of material.

Requirements/Placement
Students are required to complete 6 credits, in sequence, in any one foreign language offered in the Alvernia curriculum. Placement of the student in the appropriate course level is determined by testing and/or the decision of the foreign language department staff.

Minor in Spanish
A minor in Spanish consists of 18 credits above the 100 level (Note: SPA 103 and 104 may be included in the minor).
