World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures

BA Foreign Language Exemption

According to the UCA Undergraduate Bulletin, "In cases of unusually thorough preparation, or in the case of international students, exemption [for the FL requirement] may be sought from the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. http://www.uca.edu/ubulletin/02/208.html

UCA students whose native language is not English should know that the Department of World Languages will routinely grant an exemption to the foreign language requirement for the Bachelor of Arts degree to any student who speaks a language other than English at the intermediate level or higher. Those requesting an exemption based on native speaker status should download the form letter, fill it out, and bring it to the Chair for his signature.

Native speakers of English with "unusually thorough preparation" in a second langugae should see the Department Chair to request an exemption.
