The study of foreign languages can open unimagined doors to new experiences and challenging careers. This requirement may be waived if the student has had two years of the same foreign language in high school with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better. Beginning in fall 2001, the foreign language requirement for entering students will no longer be validated by high school course work. The modern languages faculty encourages students to study off campus as part of their undergraduate program. Many of these opportunities are credit-bearing.
Similar opportunities exist for learning other languages.
Students should consult with a department advisor. The Learning Enrichment Center offers a tutorial system wherein students may receive supplemental practice in Spanish and other foreign languages. The request must be accompanied by a detailed study plan and specific objectives as worked out by the student and the advisor. This arrangement is limited to students who previously studied a language, hold junior standing, and demonstrate an ability for independent study. Copyright 2001 Azusa Pacific University.
