Foreign Language Program
Students with prior exposure to the target language, be it at school or at home, are not permitted to enroll in the first semester classes. Such students should also have permission of the Program Director at gettysse@lewisu.edu to enroll in second semester classes to ensure that they are registering for an appropriate level of instruction.
See offerings in the Course Schedule for the appropriate semester. The courses offered, based on student demand, include those listed below. Courses listed below are not necessarily offered every semester.
Students who are already fluent in Spanish or Polish are placed in Heritage courses. These students may not take regular classes intended for first- and second-year language students. Heritage courses emphasize advanced reading, writing, and oral communication skills in the target language.
