欢迎礼包: Languages and Cultures (Spring 2024)

Subject line: Expand your Cultural Competency

Learning a foreign language requires more than a mastery of conjugation—by immersing yourself in another culture, you can develop global skills that are indispensable in today’s modern workforce. 的 Department of Languages and Cultures can help you reach a level of competency in a foreign language that broadens your worldview and allows you to clearly and openly exchange ideas and opinions with people of other cultures. 

语言要求

Language requirements vary depending on your chosen major. If you’re still exploring majors, we recommend that you take the language placement test in case you would like to continue studying that same language.

  • 法国 and Spanish: If you had 法国 and/or Spanish in high school, then you'll need to take the Loyola language placement exam. It is important that you take this before you arrive on campus so we can place you into the appropriate level of language.
  • Latin and Ancient Greek: Latin and Greek fulfill your language requirement and may help you prepare for law school or medical school in the future. If you took at least two years of either language, you should take the Latin or Greek placement exam 网上. 问题? 博士联系. Karen Rosenbecker在 krosenbe@bodybeach.net
  • 德国 and 意大利: Have you studied 德国 or 意大利? For these languages, we do not test, but you will interview with a professor when you arrive.  

On the basis of these placement tests, you may be exempt from the language requirement or placed in an appropriate level course for continued study. No credit is awarded for performance on placement tests. No matter what your placement, you may always start studying a new language! 

  • A score of 4 or 5 on a CEEB Advanced Placement exam fulfills the requirement and gives credit for a 201 course (Chinese, 法国, 德国, 意大利, 日本, 或西班牙语). 
  • Students who receive AP credit in 法国 or Spanish and wish to continue studying that language may choose a 300 level course to take.
