Transfer Pattern Description:

This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Foreign Language. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.

Since four-year institutions vary widely in their requirements, students intending to major in foreign languages should contact the program coordinator as soon as possible to plan the appropriate sequence of study.
