It is strongly recommended that a minimum of 6 credit hours be taken abroad in a country where the language of study is spoken. These 6 credit hours can be taken to fulfill required or elective courses in the major with instructor approval.
All foreign language majors or minors who are candidates for teacher certification must also pass the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) with a minimum rating of Advanced Low.
