COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
dents should plan to take a course in foreign language the first
semester of their freshman year, unless definitely planning a B. S.
degree in one of the four departments mentioned above. Those who
continue for two years the language begun in high school should
finish their course during their first two years, in order to leave
their last two years for advanced courses in their major and minor
fields. Those who begin a new language will need at least two years
and a half in the new language, besides the elementary courses begun
at the fall term only; therefore, they should elect a foreign language
in the fall semester of their first year of attendance.
Pre-medical students should take German or French or both;
those planning graduate work, especially for the Ph. D. degree, should
take both German and French in their undergraduate course; ministerial
students should take New Testament Greek (see Biblical Languages
under Department of Bible).
For the present, courses in German and the four most advanced
courses in Spanish are offered only on alternate years; so students
should plan ahead for the courses they need. A very full program is
provided for a major in Spanish. Such a program can be provided
only in exceptional cases in the other languages but advanced courses
in each language are offered whenever sufficient demand arises.
For a major in Spanish are required: 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, and
386. Those expecting to teach should include Spanish 390 among the
courses in education. Those planning missionary service in Spain or
Spanish America, or Spanish diplomatic or commercial service, should
plan coordinated courses for such service. French, English, history
or Bible may be used as minors. Those planning graduate work later
in Spanish are advised to take as much as possible in French. Those
taking French as minor should take one course above 342.
