A Two-Year Transfer Program Leading to the A.A. Degree

This curriculum offers the first two years of study for students preparing for professions as translators, interpreters, flight attendants, foreign service employees, or teachers of foreign languages.

Major Program Requirements (26)


Students who have studied a modern foreign language for two or more years at the high school or college level should take the language placement test if they wish to continue study in the same language. Advanced placement and credit on the transcript are available for students who score well on the placement test and then take at least one additional course in that language. Students with no previous foreign language study will begin at Level I. Students planning to take a second foreign language as a minor may begin their study of that language their second year. Language Levels I-IV (101, 103, 201 and 203), Intermediate Readings I and II (211 and 212), and Survey of Civilization or Culture (230 or 240) are available in French (FREN), German (GRMN), and Spanish (SPAN).
