Students who have had three years or more of a foreign language in high school may be ready to begin language study at Belmont with 200-level courses. The B.A. Core requirement in foreign language is waived for students majoring or minoring in a foreign language. Incoming students with previous language study are encouraged to consult instructors in each language to determine specific placement. They may take a 300-level course in their native language with permission of the instructor and department chair in Literature and Language. Modern language faculty enforce the following attendance policies.
Appeal is to the Provost.
128 Only courses at the FRE 200-level or above may count toward the French major. French majors must take ENG 231-232 to fulfill their BA core requirement in literature. The department recommends that a French major study a second foreign language and European history. Three hours of credit toward the French major may be granted for ENG 437, with departmental approval. The department strongly recommends that every student majoring in French spend part of his or her course of study in a French-speaking country.
