The general education requirement in fore~gn language is satis– fied by completing two years of the same modern or classical (Latin, Greek) language in high school or by successfully complet– ing the third quarter of an elementary foreign language in college. Language students are encouraged to consider the Study Abroad Program of Christian Colleges (SAPOCC), which is described under Special Programs of Study.
