Foreign Language Requirement for the
B.A. Degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences

Students electing the study of Hebrew to fulfill the foreign language requirement for the Bachelor of Arts degree in liberal arts and sciences must successfully complete Hebrew 201 or the equivalent level of achievement. The usual sequence of coursework is Hebrew 101 (with 100), 102, and 201. Refer to section of catalog on "Graduation Requirements" for additional ways to satisfy competency.

High School Equivalents

High school foreign language courses may be used for purposes of placement in college courses and may be counted toward meeting the foreign language requirement in various majors. These high school courses will not count as college credit toward graduation.

Secondary school language courses can be used as follows:

1. The first two years of high school level language count as the equivalent of the first semester of a college level course, although students with fewer than three years of high school level language may complete the first semester college course for graduation credit.

2. The first three years of high school level language count as the equivalent of the first two college semesters, although students with fewer than four years of high school level language may complete the second semester college course for graduation credit. Students who have completed three years of foreign language in high school will not receive credit for the first semester college course unless at least five years separate the last high school course and the first college course.

3. Four years of high school level language count as the equivalent of three college semesters or five college quarters, thus fulfilling the foreign language requirement.

Courses

All lower division courses in Hebrew are taught in Hebrew.

No credit will be given for Hebrew 101, 102, 201 taken out of sequence.
