Notes
-
*Students with no previous knowledge of a foreign language will need to complete two full years of a language at the college level for a BA degree. Students who are already competent in a foreign language may meet the BA language requirement by completing a foreign language course numbered 203 or higher or for which 203 is a prerequisite, or otherwise demonstrate proficiency with the Foreign Languages and Literatures Department at PSU. English satisfies the BA language requirement for students who graduated from high school where English was not the language of instruction.
