Language Skills:
Students must take the introductory language sequence plus two courses beyond
FR 230, SP 230, RU 230, GR 230 or CN 220.
At least one of these courses must be at the 300 level or above. Theses courses may be taken abroad. Currently, we have non Chinese language
courses above CN 220 so you must take these advanced electives abroad.
Non-native speakers of English can satisfy this requirement by at 600 TOEFL
score plus either EN 242 or EN 243.
Study Abroad:
Students must study abroad for at least one semester. Study abroad is waived for International
Students.
International Studies Electives:
International Studies Electives:
Students must take eight “I” courses, selected in consultation with
your advisor, for a total of at least 24 credits. They must meet the following criteria:
·
At least three
departments must be represented among the eight
·
At least two
courses must be taken in two different departments
·
At least three of
the courses must be taken at or above the 300 level
·
At least one of
the courses must be taken outside the geographic or cultural region where you
second language is spoken
·
Finally, it is
expected that students use sources in more than one language in their upper
level courses
Students must articulate in writing to their
International Studies advisor why they have selected these eight courses. Courses taken while abroad may substitute for
these courses if they have been previously determined to be comparable to
a Juniata course, or with the permission
of your advisor or the faculty member in that specialty (e.g. Emil Nagengast
will approve courses in politics, Brad Andrew will approve courses in
economics, etc.)
International students may take courses on
