What courses should I take?

It is helpful to follow the 8-Semester displays when choosing courses as it already takes into consideration when courses are usually offered, proper sequencing, and pre-reqs needed. This useful tool can be found at: LTA097. In addition, the Degree Audit in MyPack Portal is interactive, which means you can click on a group or category to find a list of acceptable courses. It is important to pay attention to pre-requisites and restrictions as each college has different requirements.

*Beginning with 2013 graduates, the COM course has been replaced by ECI 311 and 312 (Assessment Course). Students graduating prior to 2013 are eligible to take the Assessment course in lieu of COM.

I want to study abroad.

Studying abroad is a great way to experience the language and culture outside of the university setting. The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures has several study abroad programs for summer or semester study, inluding Peru, Spain, and Mexico. There is a semester abroad program to Spain. The first step is to visit the study abroad website to find a program that interests you and works with your schedule (summer or semester). Then, meet with your adviser to formulate a plan. Make sure you pay attention to application deadlines and plan in advance to ask for recommendations from your instructors. Students can complete up to 6 credit hours of study in the summer, or up to 15 in a semester.
