(f) two “Directed Studies Abroad” Distance Education courses (07-357 and 07-358) taken during the year abroad (see Note {3} below)

* Students beginning the program at an advanced level must adhere to the following sequence of priorities in selecting their courses to replace the standard 6 language training course requirement.
(i) Complete all available courses taught in the target language(s).
(ii) Complete additional courses in the chosen language option area(s).
(iii) Complete additional courses in Modern Languages

All courses must be selected in consultation with the program advisor.

Notes:
{1} Students are required to take courses in distinct areas of concentration while abroad. They will have their choice of taking three pre-approved courses in either “Literature” and/or “Linguistics” and/or “Culture” and/or “Civilization”. The specific courses taken in an area depend upon the availability of courses in the area at the host university and the student’s program concentration. As well, all students will be required to take two advanced language-training courses. These are standard and available at any exchange partner university.

{2} Students in the Honours program that are unable to take the required courses abroad, for any reason, will be permitted to transfer to the General or Honours with SLE programs. The modular design of the Modern Languages curriculum (a common first two years curriculum) permits this transfer to another program without any loss in time or additional costs to the student.

{3} Students also will register for the “Directed Studies Abroad” Distance Education courses. Students on exchange will be required to attend specific cultural events (museums; art galleries, etc.), participate in assigned activities and write reports on their experiences.

Option requirements: six courses including
(a) two Social Sciences courses
(b) two Arts or two Sciences courses
(c) two additional courses from Arts, Social Sciences or Science.

Other requirements:

(b) three international courses from a foreign university, in any area of study, including Modern Languages
(c) additional courses from any area of study, excluding Modern Languages, to a total of forty courses.
