We advocate the study of language through culture and culture through language via coursework that concentrates on Language and Linguistics, Literature and Culture. We promote skills development through emphasis on Interpretive (reading, writing), Interpersonal (person-to-person communication, and Presentational (writing, speaking) communication through exploration of the Perspective, Practices, and Products of the communities that speak the language of study, with World-Readiness Standards (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, Communities) interwoven into the curriculum.<\/p>\n Students will be able to:<\/p>\n Our\u00a0students are able to combine their\u00a0love of language and culture with the coursework and internships that lead\u00a0to professional success. \u00a0The Modern Languages Department offers\u00a0three innovative tracks\u00a0<\/strong>for majors:<\/p>\n Regardless of which track is chosen, our students are strongly encouraged to complete an external\u00a0Language Testing and Assessment<\/a>\u00a0prior to graduation.<\/p>\n All degree programs require completion of the General Education Curriculum. A complete description of the GE curriculum and its requirements is available in the General Education Curriculum section of the Daemen catalog. Courses that satisfy a GE requirement will have such a designation indicated after the course title.<\/p>\n Most of the courses offered through the Modern Languages Department are\u00a0GE Courses<\/strong>. Students looking for interesting ways to examine the\u00a0GE learning outcomes<\/strong>\u00a0may accomplish this through the content we offer. \u00a0We invite all students to explore our course offerings delivered in Spanish, French, and English.<\/p>\n Further information about +Plus programs is available from the Modern Languages Department on the +Plus program Catalog page.<\/p>\n Language Content Courses<\/b><\/p>\n Major: 37 credits<\/b><\/p>\n 15 credits in courses designated as Language & Linguistics 4 Credits Senior Project Sequence (442 = 1 credit, 443 = 3 credits)<\/p>\n 3 Credits Internship<\/p>\n Internship<\/b><\/p>\n All Majors are required to complete\u00a0one 3-credit internship<\/b>; two are recommended.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Internships may be local, regional, national, or international.

Opportunities through the Washington Internship Institute and study abroad internships approved by the department satisfy this requirement.<\/p>\n Service Learning<\/b><\/p>\n Daemen University\u00a0graduates complete a service learning experience. \u00a0The Department of Modern Languages offers FRE\/SPA service learning opportunities.\u00a0 Placements may be local, regional, national, or international.\u00a0 Courses are\u00a0 FRE\/SPA 299, 399, 499.<\/p>\n Secondary Language<\/b><\/p>\n All majors are required to demonstrate<\/i>\u00a0a minimum level\u00a0<\/i><\/b>of\u00a0<\/i>intermediate proficiency in a language other than the major language of study.\u00a0\u00a0Our majors are strongly encouraged to pursue advanced-level courses in their second foreign language in order to increase each student\u2019s marketability.<\/i><\/b>\u00a0The requirement may be satisfied through the completion of university-level coursework or the successful completion of a proficiency examination.<\/p>\n International Experience<\/b><\/p>\n All majors are required to complete an international experience in a country where the student\u2019s major language is an official language. Majors should complete one long-term experience (minimum of one semester but preferably one year). \u00a0Dual degree\/double majors may choose 2 short-term experiences (inter-semester and\/or summer terms), the combination of which must total a minimum of 7 weeks of experience.<\/p>\n Most study abroad programs\u00a0require\u00a0<\/b>a minimum GPA of 3.0 in language courses.<\/p>\n Courses taken abroad must be approved by the Modern Languages Department. Official transcripts from the universities abroad must be sent directly to the Registrar\u2019s Office at Daemen University. All students must visit the Global Programs Office for information, advice, and clearance. Senior Project<\/b><\/p>\n All majors complete a senior project. In the first part of the sequence, FRE\/SPA 442 (1 credit) students<\/i> select the topic for research and make substantial progress under the direction of the Modern Language faculty members.\u00a0 Students may not enroll in the second part of the sequence, FRE\/SPA 443(3 credits), until they have successfully passed 442. \u00a0In 443, students complete their project, demonstrating mastery of the language in the context of literary, cultural studies, or professional applications. Students present their work, in the target language, in a public defense. Note: \u00a0In order to be fully prepared to enter the teaching profession, student-teacher candidates must showcase their preparedness in the 442-443 sequence prior to approval\/recommendation for student teaching.<\/p>\n Enrollment at the appropriate course level will be determined by previous foreign language instruction and\/or interview with the Modern Languages Department. In general, students will be placed in courses in language studies according to the following guidelines.\u00a0 However, students may request advice on their proficiency levels, from the Modern Language faculty, to ensure the best placement.<\/p>\n Any student with questions concerning placement is urged to consult with the Department Chair.<\/p>\n If a student is interested in majoring in French or Spanish but needs to complete courses at the 100 level, up to 6 credits of coursework may be credited as Free Electives taken in the major; any additional credits completed will be over and above the minimum program requirements.\u00a0 Please note that coursework in the major language at the 100 level does not count toward completion of the major.<\/p>\n By April 1st of the second semester of the sophomore year, the student is required to make an application in writing to the Modern Languages Chair for admission to the upper division. Normally the student should have accrued at least 6 hours of credit at the 200 level or above before applying to upper division.<\/p>\n The absence of any of these items or an overall GPA lower than 2.75 will constitute an incomplete submission, and the portfolio will not be accepted for review. If you are missing assignments, please see your advisor before the submission date to seek advice about your options.<\/strong><\/p>\n An overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.00.<\/p>\n Teacher Certification Majors<\/strong>: Minimum GPA of 2.75.<\/p>\n Specific Requirements Based on Track Chosen:<\/b><\/p>\n All majors are admitted into Upper Division through the application process described above.<\/p>\n Dual Degree\/Double Majors<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Students on this track automatically have a content area specialization through the declaration of the dual degree\/double major. \u00a0Typically the dual\/double area specialization fulfills free elective courses.<\/p>\n Professional Track Majors\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 Students choose at least one disciplinary minor or one interdisciplinary +Plus pathway.\u00a0 This choice should be made based on clearly established career goals. While only one minor is required, many students choose multiple minors. Note: Some courses required of a +Plus or a discipline-based minor may have prerequisites. Courses that carry a competency may be credited under core electives or free electives.<\/p>\n Adolescence Education Track \u2013 FRE\/SPA BA<\/b><\/p>\n All adolescent education majors must be admitted into the Education Department through the upper-division application process described above. No student may pursue this major without meeting the Education Department\u2019s requirements.
