The program of the World Languages and Cultures Department is designed to enable
students to read, write, speak and comprehend one or more foreign
languages; to think and express themselves logically, precisely
and critically in one or more foreign languages; to acquire skills
in literary criticism by reading representative foreign authors;
to gain insight into the evolution of the culture and civilization
of foreign peoples as reflected in their literature.
The Bachelor of Arts program in Classical Language gives students
a solid foundation in Latin and Greek to engender an appreciation
of the liberal aspects of Classical Studies. Classics majors are
encouraged to take their junior year abroad at Loyola University's
Rome Center of Liberal Arts with which The University of Scranton
is affiliated.
World Languages and Cultures majors and students pursuing teaching certification
must complete 36 credits in one language beginning with the intermediate
level if it is modern, and the elementary level if it is classical.
Modern Language majors normally take at least 12 credits in a second
language, either modern or classical, as their cognate. A double
major may be pursued by taking 36 credits in one language, beginning
with the intermediate or elementary level, and by satisfying the
major and cognate requirements of another department. The placement
of students at a particular foreign-language level is the responsibility
of the chair-person.
The department urges students to study abroad during their junior
year. In addition, it strongly recommends that students who spend
the entire junior year abroad plan their studies carefully, so that
they will be able to take at least one course per semester in their
major language during the senior year. |
