College Breadth Requirements:

The College Breadth requirements are in addition to the University Breadth requirement. Up to three credits from each of the University Breadth Requirement categories may be used to simultaneously satisfy these College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements. Minimum grade C- required for courses used to satisfy College Breadth.

GROUP A: Creative Arts and Humanities (Nine credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units)
GROUP B: History and Cultural Change (Nine credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units)
GROUP C: Social and Behavioral Sciences (Nine credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units)
GROUP D: Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology (Ten credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units and including a minimum of one course with an associated laboratory)

*If the grade earned is sufficient, a course may be applied toward more than one requirement (e.g., breadth and major requirements), but the credits are counted only once toward the total credits for graduation. If all but one course in a group has been taken in one department or program, a course cross-listed with that program will not satisfy the distribution requirement.

Foreign Language:

- The number of credits (0-12) needed and initial placement will depend on the number of years of high school study of foreign language.

the ACTFL Latin Interpretive Reading Assessment (ALIRA) for Latin.

Students who meet the above requirements will be admitted into the various Foreign Language Education majors. Admitted students will thus have time to work towards Advanced Low which is one of the prerequisites to placement in student teaching

Student Teaching:

To qualify for admission to student teaching, Latin Education majors must have a GPA of 2.75 overall, a GPA of 3.0 in their required Latin courses, and a GPA of 3.0 in their required pedagogy courses(LLCU 422 and LLCU 424 ). See EDUC 400 for pre- and co-requisite examination requirements. Students must consult with the teacher education program coordinator to obtain the student teaching application and other information concerning student teaching policies.
