Depending on their major, students are required to take two consecutive courses (must have departmental approval to skip a level). For literature level courses, students must either pass level 210 or 211 or score at literature level on the written placement test or have departmental approval. Courses may also be taken to satisfy the Liberal Arts elective requirement.
Native speakers of the language in question and students who have studied a language in high school should go to the Modern Languages Department for a placement test.
