OTHER PROGRAMS

The degree available with an emphasis in Modern Language is:

BA in Liberal Studies (concentration in German or Spanish.). Students pursuing a Liberal Studies degree will be required to complete a capstone project appropriate to their area.
The capstone project should be selected in consultation with the project advisor no later than the end of the junior year to provide ample time for completion. While the focus of the capstone will vary, it is expected that the capstone will be well researched and properly documented according to the guidelines of the Modern Language Association or other accepted bibliographic format.

• Upon completion of the capstone, the student will prepare a formal defense of the project.
• Students desiring to teach German or Spanish should consult the appropriate degree programs in Education.
• Minors in German and Spanish are available for all degree programs. See School of Education and Business Programs for minor in Bilingual and Hispanic Studies.
