Language Fellows

A special feature of language study at Susquehanna is the opportunity for students to interact with visiting instructors from other countries. The fellows teach introductory language classes, act as teaching assistants in upper-level courses, and join students in weekly language tables and other cultural and club activities.

Placement

Please see the Academic Policies section of this catalog for information regarding language placement.

Applied Language Credit

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures encourages students who exempt the World Languages Central Curriculum requirement to continue their language study by enrolling in the course into which they have been placed at the 200-level or above. Upon successful completion of that course with a grade of B- or above, such students will earn a total of eight semester hours of credit: four semester hours for the upper-level course and four semester hours of (ungraded) applied language credit in recognition of their achievement. This policy does not apply to students who have previously earned college credit (whether at Susquehanna, through transfer course work or AP/ IB) in the language they are continuing to study. Applied language credit may not be used to satisfy the requirement for a major or minor program.
