Students must complete two semesters of intermediate-level courses or demonstrate equivalent proficiency.* Four three-credit course slots are reserved for students to meet this requirement but those able to begin language study above the 101 level will be able to complete the requirement with fewer courses.** All students will be required to take at least one course regardless of the level at which they begin.
Students interested in federal law enforcement or counter-terrorism should strongly consider taking Arabic to meet their language requirement. Students unsure of their career interest may want to consider delaying language courses until their sophomore year.
* Upon completing their foreign language course work in Spanish or French, students are encouraged to consult with their advisors on the benefits of taking the nationally recognized Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), which is administered by the foreign languages department.
** Students who choose to take American Sign Language (ASL 330, 331 and 332) to meet this requirement will also be required to take Anthropological Linguistics (ANT 300/FLL 301/PGS 300) as their fourth course.

Criminology & Criminal Justice Minor
Students who wish to minor in criminology and criminal justice should contact the chair of the department as early as possible, but no later than the beginning of the junior year, to discuss student interests and the best timing of courses to fit those interests. A prospectus will be submitted at that time which includes a statement outlining the student’s interests in the area and a schedule which will allow successful completion of the course requirements. Post facto completion of the minor may not be approved.
The minor program in criminology and criminal justice requires the five courses, 15 credit hours, listed below. The courses should be taken in the following sequence.
