One Language Other than English (LOE) (6)

Junior or Senior level

To develop, or improve a student’s facility in a Language Other than English

The core program requirement of a Language other than English consists of 6 at the 100-level or above in one LOE. Students who decide to take an LOE in which they matriculated must take courses numbered 150 or above as they will not be given credit for courses numbered 100–149 in that language; these are for beginners only.

Language courses which do not offer as their goal the acquisition of a Language other than English, e.g., those dealing with literature in translation, will not fulfill the LOE requirement. Consult §231, Course Listings, for full course descriptions.

Students who have completed their secondary education in a LOE will be permitted to take 6 option in lieu of the LOE core. Students with prior LOE background who wish further study in that LOE must be placed at the appropriate level or credit will be withheld. Records for these applicants will be reviewed and assessed by the Undergraduate Student Services Office. Students who have facility in a LOE but who cannot provide official transcripts should contact the relevant LOE department for advice about obtaining a waiver for the LOE requirement.
