Effective in summer 2006, students must earn a "C" or better in any Modern Language course included among those that count toward the major or minor. This policy will apply to all students who submit a degree program after the end of the spring 2006 semester.
Please note that the following are general templates for your language major. If you begin your course of study at WKU at a level higher than first-semester language, if you gain CLEP OR AP credit, or if you study abroad, you can gain extra credit and progress through this program more quickly than indicated below.
All students graduating with a major in German will be required to complete a written and oral assesment during the last academic year of their language studies.
