ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
World Languages (0-6 cr.)
Attainment of beginning-level proficiency in a language
other than English is required. This requirement can be
met in one of two ways:
• Successful completion of a second-semester language
class, designated as 102 in the IU South Bend
Bulletin. The number of years of high school language
instruction typically determines into which semester a
student may choose to enroll (0-1 years = 101; 2 years
= 102).
• Formal training, as evidenced by secondary or
university diplomas, in a language other than English.
The Department of World Language Studies (W.L.S.)
offers a placement examination to determine into which
semester a student should enroll and/or to qualify
students for credit by examination. Students may earn
up to 6 credit hours for testing out of any two of the
language classes 101, 102, 203, or 204. For more details,
see the Department of World Language Studies web page.
