Knowledge of a second language can become a valuable support skill for careers in business, Christian ministry, education, government, and social services. The department provides a variety of language courses that allow students to develop basic communication skills and cultural awareness. Guidelines for satisfying the general education requirement for foreign language are found on page 25. Students with previous language study may be eligible for test-out credit for first- and/or second-year language courses and should contact the department or the Office of the Registrar for details. Language students are also encouraged to consider the study abroad options listed under International Study Opportunities on page 21 . 2017–18 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page 109 Department of English, Literature, and Modern Languages Foreign Language
