- Two years of on-campus foreign language study, plus a year of immersion in a related foreign culture in a study abroad program.
- One year of on-campus language study, plus a one-year study abroad program with an intensive language component in the chosen language.

Entering majors whose native language is English must meet with a foreign language and literatures advisor to plan their foreign language curriculum.
