FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Greek and Latin
The Greek and Latin programs provide the necessary requisites for pre-seminary and
theology majors, as well as for students who desire to enrich their programs with the
study of an ancient language and literature. Elementary and Intermediate Greek are
taught in alternate years.
Spanish
The Spanish program develops a Christian perspective on Hispanic culture, history,
and literature. Students majoring in Spanish are provided with sufficient knowledge,
training, and practical experience for continued study at the graduate level. Spanish
Education majors are prepared for teaching all level of Spanish from kindergarten
through the 12th grade. A minor or a second major in Spanish augments vocational
skills and enhances employment opportunities in business, government, law, social
work and health industry, among others.
Lower-level courses are designed to bring the student’s communicative proficiency in
Spanish up to the level which makes advanced work feasible. These courses are
sequential in nature, beginning with Spanish 101 and continuing through 102, 201 to
202. Upper-level courses (300 and above) fall within one of three broad categories:
Language, Literature and Culture. Minors are required to take one upper-level
language course and two upper-level electives. Spanish majors are required to take
two language courses, three literature courses and two culture courses from the
upper-level selection. All majors and minors are also required to repeat the advanced
conversation lab at least three times.
A cumulative 2.5 GPA is needed for students to attend Semester in Spain. All majors
are required to fulfill part of their coursework through the Semester In Spain (SIS)
program. For minors, SIS is optional.
Spanish education majors, in addition to the requirements for the Spanish major, must
take one additional class in methods of teaching Spanish. All students are required to
take the placement exam prior to taking a Spanish class. |
