Certificate:
The Department of Global Languages and Cultures offers instruction in Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Italian, Latin, Russian, and Spanish and thus brings a distinctively international perspective to the university community. The language programs focus on the development of proficiency in speaking, writing, reading, and listening, and integrate the study of literature, linguistics, business, and culture.
Faculty members in the Department of Global Languages and Cultures lead one-month language-immersion study programs in France, Germany, Latin America, and Spain in conjunction with the Global and Intercultural Affairs Center (GIA). Participants in these programs can earn up to seven semester hours of language credit.
Students in B.A. programs can acquire teacher licensure in French, German, or Spanish through the dual-degree B.A. and B.S.E. programs conducted in conjunction with the Department of Teacher Education in the School of Education and Health Sciences. For details consult the department chairperson.
All new students who have previously studied their language of choice, continue their study in courses in which all enrolled students are at approximately the same level of proficiency. Students' proficiency levels for the first enrollment in a language class are determined by the results of the department's two-phase placement examination. Credit, but not placement, is awarded for scores of three or higher on the Advanced Placement language examinations.
Majors
A major in French or Spanish consists of 28 semester hours at the 300-level or higher. A major in German consists of 27-29 semester hours at the 101-level and above. Up to three courses may be taken in English (see approved list below). Many students combine a major in the department with a major in another discipline.
At least one-half of all course work for the majors in French, Spanish and German must be completed at the University of Dayton.
The International Studies program is designed to provide students with a broad educational foundation for leadership and service in the complex global community. Providing our students with the tools necessary to understand complex international issues, the curriculum includes foundation courses in language arts, humanities, and social sciences, one of several thematic concentrations, and a senior capstone. The self-designed experiential learning component allows majors to expand their language skills and knowledge of other countries while gaining valuable on-site experience through the University’s education abroad programs or by participating in one of several domestic internships with an international focus. Our graduates are employed by government agencies, humanitarian organizations, multi-national corporations, law enforcement agencies, educational institutions, and law firms throughout the United States and other parts of the world.
Minors
A minor in French or Spanish consists of 12 semester hours at the 300-400 level in the target language. Courses in English do not count.
