Language
Proficiency
Foreign
language proficiency may be demonstrated in French, German, Greek
(classical or koine), Italian, Latin (classical or medieval),
Russian, Spanish, or another language approved by the Director of
Graduate Studies on the basis of demonstrated need. Languages other
than Greek, Latin, French, German, Russian, Italian, or Spanish must
be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies on the grounds of
their relevance to the student’s program of studies.
To
satisfy language requirements, students may demonstrate proficiency
in a number of ways:
For average or high proficiency: an appropriate score on a translation examination on a non-fiction text approved by the Director of Graduate Studies and administered by the Office of Testing Services (Adams Hall). A guide to choosing a text for translation is available from the Graduate Secretary.
For average proficiency: a grade of S (satisfactory) in special courses for graduate students offered by the Department of Foreign Languages (FLFR 381F/382L for French, FLGE 381F/382L for German, and FLSP 381F/382L for Spanish).
For average proficiency: provide documentation of a degree from a college or university at which a foreign language was the language of instruction. In some cases, an undergraduate major in a foreign language may be approved upon petition to the Graduate School as a demonstration of proficiency.
Students are urged to satisfy the language requirement as early as possible in their program.
