Language & Literature

Application Process

Those who wish to earn the Bachelor of Arts degree in Language and Literature must complete the following procedure:

1. Submit to department chair a degree application and a copy of the student’s degree audit report. In order to be accepted into the department majors, students must have a 2.0 GPA overall and a 2.3 GPA in courses taken for the major. To be considered, students must have completed 9 hours of courses labeled 3000 or above (for English majors) and 9 hours of courses labeled 2000 and above (for French, Spanish and Foreign Studies majors.)
2. The student will be advised in writing of the department’s decision on the application to major. Upon acceptance, the student will be assigned an advisor to assist in developing a schedule of courses to complete the major.
3. This procedure generally takes place by the first semester of the student’s junior year to ensure that the student has completed the Liberal Arts Core requirements, and to provide time to complete the major requirements in a reasonable fashion.

From time to time, the department will review the progress of the student. The student’s advisor shall inform the student about the conclusions of the departmental review.
