Second language study contributes importantly
to a liberal education, not only as a means of access to the cultural
and intellectual heritage of the world's non-English-speaking
majority but also as a way to gain a new reflective understanding
of the structure and complexity of English itself.
Fourth-term proficiency in a language
other than English is required and may be met by any one of:
1. Certified proficiency on a University
of Michigan reading and/or listening test. Students with previous
experience in the language they plan to use to meet the language
requirement must take a language placement test. A student may
not elect for credit a language course below this placement level
without departmental permission.
2. Credit for a University of Michigan
fourth-term language course listed below with a grade of C- or
better.

3. Credit for a University of Michigan
language course which presumes a fourth-term proficiency in a
language (except for 305 and/or 306 in French, German, Italian, and Spanish, Spanish 290/American Culture 224, and Spanish 308).
Students must earn a grade
of C— or better in the prerequisite language course to proceed
to the subsequent course.
Any exception to this rule must
be granted by a designated faculty representative in the department.
The final course in an elementary
language sequence used to satisfy the Language Requirement must
be elected on a graded basis.
The language requirement cannot be satisfied
by out-of-residence credit which is elected after the student
has begun degree enrollment in LS&A unless the appropriate
language department has approved that plan in advance.
Students who wish to meet the requirement
with proficiency in a language not listed in the table above should
contact the Academic Standards Board. A student whose first language
is not English and who attended a high school where English was
not the language of instruction is considered to have met the
requirement.
