B.A. Degree Program Foreign Language Requirement

Twelve (12) hours of one foreign language is a general requirement for a number of Bachelor of Arts degrees. Consult specific programs for details. Upon the presentation of two or more units of high school work in a foreign language currently taught at Fairmont State, students may have six (6) hours of this requirement at the elementary level waived, provided that they are competent to continue the study of the language in classes numbered 2200 or above. However, students still must complete the required total number of hours for graduation. It is recommended that students begin their requirement in foreign language no later than their sophomore year.

All variations from prescribed programs must be approved by the appropriate Dean in the major/minor field before students can qualify for graduation.
