Purpose
The Division of Humanities offers programs in English, dance, mass communication (broadcasting, film, journalism, public relations), theater, and modern foreign languages to enable students to prepare for a wide range of academic, professional, and vocational pursuits and for life-long service to God and to humankind.
All students with an area or major in the Division of Humanities, must take MAC 120 or MAC 140 as part of their General Education requirements.
The English Programs
The Department of English provides programs of study for students who recognize the power of language and want to develop a mastery of the English language in order to be insightful critical readers and competent scholarly and creative writers. They may pursue a major, a minor, or an area of concentration as they work toward either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree or a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. The Department of English also provides components of the General Education Program ( ENG 111 - Freshman Composition I ; ENG 112 - Freshman Composition II ; and ENG 210 - Literary Studies ) and one developmental course ( ENG 110 - Basic English ).
Modern Foreign Language
The Division of Humanities offers a major and minor in Spanish and provides elementary and intermediate courses in Spanish, French and German. A Spanish Education, P-12, area is available as well. CHN 101, Chinese Language and Culture, is also offered. All Spanish Education Area and Spanish Major students must take MAC 120 or MAC 140 as part of their General Education requirements.
Advanced Placement in Foreign Language
Students with high school foreign language credit should consult the modern foreign language faculty to seek advanced placement. Students may receive credit in one or more modern foreign languages on the basis of demonstrated proficiency.
Foreign Language Requirement for the Bachelor of Arts Degree
To qualify for a Bachelor of Arts degree, students must complete at least twelve hours in modern foreign language courses. Four three-hour courses in one language or two three-hour courses in each of two languages will fulfill the requirement. The foreign culture courses numbered 101 do not count toward this requirement.
Waiver of the Foreign Language Requirement
The foreign language requirement will be waived for students whose native language is not English.
Determination of Proficiency and Eligibility for Waiver
The foreign language faculty will use tests to determine whether a student has attained proficiency in a foreign language and whether a student is eligible for waiver of or exemption from the foreign language requirement.
