Notes

1. Students must attain, at a minimum, an intermediate level in one foreign language, usually by completing 12 credits of foreign language study through the 2020 level. Any remaining credits may be used for additional languages or as open electives. Those with previous language study may contact the appropriate department for placement in advanced-level courses (i.e., to begin study at the University with a 2000-level rather than a 1000-level language course). Students scoring at least 620 on an SAT II foreign language achievement examination have satisfied this requirement. Those intending to go on to graduate study in the field of architectural history are advised to study a second language.
