Bachelor's Degree Program
Program of Study
The 128-point foreign language curriculum offers students the training necessary to be teachers of Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish. In addition to intensive linguistic work in the language of the student’s choice (to be selected by advisement), the core course of study exposes students to diverse approaches to second language acquisition and fosters cross-cultural sensitivity. In addition to the pedagogical core, in which students learn about teaching techniques and methods and creating curricula, stu dents are also required to take a minimum of 60 points in liberal arts. The student's program of study culminates in two semesters of teaching opportunities in a public or independent school setting.
