Admission
List of Foreign Languages
Course sequences that fulfill the CASE Foreign Language requirement may be offered in the languages listed below. Students should consult the departmental course descriptions for specific courses. To meet the CASE Foreign Language Requirement, the College advises its students to plan for two years of consecutive fall and spring foreign language enrollments. Students can complete foreign language courses during the summer when they are offered, but the summer course selection for individual languages and course levels varies by demand and the availability of instructors; the College cannot guarantee that any one language or a specific course in a language sequence will be taught in a given summer. Students interested in less frequently taught languages must confer directly with the appropriate department; availability of multiple semesters in these languages cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that the CASE Foreign Language requirement for students in the College differs from the World Languages and Cultures requirement for the campuswide General Education curriculum. Fulfillment of the CASE Foreign Language requirement for B.A. and B.F.A. degrees will, in most cases, also fulfill the campuswide General Education World Languages and Cultures requirement.
For information on the campuswide General Education World Languages and Cultures requirement, please see gened.iub.edu.
