Courses Offered
|
Courses offered by the Department of Foreign Languages
and Literature are designed to provide students with
insights into the culture and literature of foreign
countries while they develop fluency in a second
language. The study of a foreign language ranges from
an introductory sequence through a minor or major
concentration and represents an integral part of a
broad, internationally enlightened education. Foreign
language proficiency also increases students'
understanding and command of their native language.
The department offers both major and minor concentrations
in French, German, and Spanish, leading to a Bachelor of
Arts degree. Language courses in Chinese, Greek, Italian,
Latin, and Russian also are offered, as well as courses in
Celtic Studies.
All incoming students with one year or more of high school
foreign language study are required to take a placement
test prior to enrolling in any course in that same language
at SIUE. There is no charge for the test, and students may
earn up to 16 hours of proficiency credit in accordance with
University and departmental policies. Please contact the
department for more information.
It is strongly recommended that students who choose a
language major also select an additional major or minor
concentration in another discipline. Such a combination
will enhance students' educational and employment opportunities.
