LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT<br />

The study <strong>of</strong> languages other than English is essential<br />

to underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> appreciate our global community. In<br />

recognition <strong>of</strong> this fact, the College <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts <strong>and</strong><br />

Sciences requires that its Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts majors attain<br />

an intermediate-level pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in a second language<br />

This requirement can be met in one <strong>of</strong> three ways:<br />

• Successful completion <strong>of</strong> a fourth-semester language<br />

course designated in the IU <strong>South</strong> <strong>Bend</strong> Schedule <strong>of</strong><br />

Classes as 204. (204 is the last class in a four-semester<br />

sequence: 101, 102, 203, <strong>and</strong> 204)<br />

• Successful completion <strong>of</strong> a 300- or 400-level course in<br />

which the primary instruction is in a language other<br />

than English.<br />

• Formal training, as evidenced by a secondary or<br />

university diploma, in a language other than English.<br />

Students pursuing a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science degree should consult<br />

with their major department to determine the language<br />

requirement. Students from other academic programs on<br />

campus may take world language courses as electives <strong>and</strong><br />

may earn world language credits by placement examination<br />

or advanced course placement as described below.<br />

PLACEMENT<br />

Students with no prior foreign language experience<br />

should enroll in 101; students with one to two years <strong>of</strong><br />

foreign language study in high school should enroll<br />

in 102; students with three or more years <strong>of</strong> foreign<br />

language study should enroll in 203 <strong>and</strong> consider taking<br />

the placement examination. Students with three or<br />

more years <strong>of</strong> foreign language study also may qualify<br />

to register for upper-level courses in the department. To<br />

determine placement in department courses, students<br />
