But in this case they must successfully complete 4 semesters of that language-the two introductory courses and two intermediate courses from the Language Option A list below in order to fulfill the language requirement.

Language Option B:

The two course language requirement may also be satisfied with two semesters of study at the introductory level for Arabic, Chinese, Greek (ancient), Japanese or Russian as follows:

CHI 1111/1112 Intensive Basic Chinese I and II
GRK 1111/1112 Introductory Greek (Ancient) I and II
JPN 1111/1112 Intensive Basic Japanese I and II

Language Option C:

International students (for whom English is a second language) may choose to fulfill their language requirement in their native language by taking two advanced literature courses in the language.

Or they may choose to fulfill the language requirement by taking a total of four English courses (ENG-1050 and three advanced literature courses at the 2100 level or above) to fulfill both the literature and foreign language core requirements.

International students always have the option of selecting a third language for study.
