Foreign study is a vital component of the language major's college experience.
There are abundant opportunities for Loras students to study outside the United States, either for a semester or for a full academic year. Such study greatly enhances the student's ability in effective communication and brings the student into direct contact with a region's culture. The Department of Modern Foreign Languages strongly encourages its students to participate in study abroad programs. To apply credits earned off-campus to the major, students must obtain prior written permission from the chairperson. Students are not allowed to earn more than 12 of their 24 major credits in off-campus courses.
