Modern Languages General Information

Awards Day 2008
Modern Language Awards Day 08

Requirements for Major: Students may complete a major in French, German, or Spanish by satisfying the language requirement and completing successfully 2110 and a minimum of five courses beyond 2110. At least two of the five courses beyond 2110 must be literature courses taken at Millsaps. For the German major, two of the five courses beyond 2110 must be taken at another institution, after approval from the department chair. For all majors, no more than three language courses taken at another institution may be counted towards the major, and of those three, no more than two may be beyond the intermediate level.

Requirements for Minor: Students may elect a minor in French, German, or Spanish by satisfying the language requirement and completing successfully 2110 and a minimum of two courses beyond it. At least one of the two courses beyond 2110 must be a literature course. All courses beyond the intermediate level must be taken at Millsaps.

Language Requirement and Placement Test: The Department of Modern Languages administers its own placement test. The test is compulsory for all those who wish to continue their work in a language they studied in high school. Students beginning a new language are not required to take the placement test.

According to their placement test scores, students will either satisfy the language requirement or will be placed into 1000, 1010, 2000 or 2110. Academic credit will be awarded only for courses taken. Students may present transcripts verifying that they have completed the equivalent of Millsaps' Basic and Intermediate language courses taken at other institutions, thereby satisfying the language requirement.

To satisfy the language requirement, students must demonstrate proficiency at the intermediate level by successfully completing a course in 2000 or 2110 or its equivalent.

International Study: Before taking language courses abroad, students should consult with the department chair to ensure future transfer of credit. For further information about international study opportunities, see section on International Study.
