Program Requirements for HBA in LANGUAGES: The Honours BA in Languages consists of 20.0 credits, including a minimum of 16.0 credits in languages, not more than 6.0 of which may be at the 100 level. The 16.0 credits are as follows: A. Linguistic and Cultural Perspectives (1.5 credits): One of LL200 or LL201; one of LL223 or LL323; plus one of MI201 or MI202. B. Three target languages (14.0 credits): 6.0 credits in French; 6.0 credits in Spanish; and 2.0 credits in one of Arabic, German or Italian. C. Electives (4.5 credits): Electives can be chosen from the department (above and beyond the requirements in A and B) or from other areas of the university. These elective credits may form part of a minor. Note: By agreement, students at WLU and U of W can take some upper-level Spanish courses at either university. Some courses are cycled from year to year. Consult the department in Year 1 to assist in scheduling your program of studies.
