The
Modern Languages program offers courses in French, German, Spanish and
English as a Second Language. The major in Modern Languages requires a
concentration in one of these three languages (30 or 33 hours beyond
202) and a second modern language (3 hours at the 202-level or above).
No grade below C in the language of the concentration is accepted for
graduation requirements for the major or minor in that language. Students preparing to teach will follow a sequence of courses in addition to the major requirements. Students meeting endorsement requirements will be licensed to teach a modern language at all levels from Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade.Endorsement in an additional language requires 24 semester hours (at least 12 of which must be beyond intermediate level). Advanced placement reduces proportionately the number of hours required by the Commonwealth of Virginia for endorsement. Majors must have a 2.50 GPA, both cumulatively and in the major, prior to student teaching. Modern Language majors are required to complete at least one regular semester in a Longwood-approved study abroad program. Students must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 to be eligible for study abroad. Longwood sponsors regular semester study abroad programs in Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Venezuela and elsewhere. Students may also make arrangements to study in other countries through the Office of International Affairs. Supporting courses are recommended in the other humanities.
