The Division of Languages and Linguistics offers students several undergraduate degrees. Although a baccalaureate degree is not offered in Linguistics, a minor is available to students. Comprehensive information about these programs is listed below.
The major in Classics is designed to meet the needs of students who desire competence in Latin and/or Greek and a broad understanding of ancient culture and literature. The major is of interest to students who wish to teach the languages, to those who plan graduate study in a humanistic discipline, and to those who want an undergraduate major which focuses on the ancient civilizations which are the cornerstone of the Western tradition.
Students wishing to transfer to USF should complete the A.A. degree at the community college. Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. If students transfer without an A.A. degree and have fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the students must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.
The transfer student should also be aware of the immunization, foreign language, and continuous enrollment policies of the university.
Students should demonstrate proficiency at the intermediate level within the target language. This may be accomplished by completing 6-12 hours within the language or by demonstrated competency at the intermediate level. If this coursework (or associated competency) is not completed at the community college, it must be completed before the degree is granted. A grade of "C" is the minimum acceptable grade. Students are encouraged to complete the following prerequisites, or major, support, or elective courses if available, during the program of study at the community college, and when feasible in General Education/Gordon Rule courses.
The Major in Classics requires 10 courses, earning a minimum of 30 credit hours. Of those courses, a minimum of 4 courses must consist of language courses in any combination of courses offered in Latin (LAT and LNW) and in Greek (GRE and GRW). The remaining 6 courses are to be chosen from a list of approved courses with the advice of the Classics advisor.
The minor in Classics Greek or Latin consists of 4 courses, earning a minimum of 12 credit hours, chosen from a list of approved courses with the advice of the Classics advisor.

Foreign Language major programs are designed to meet the needs of students who desire competency in a language and an expanded understanding of its culture and literature. They are of particular interest to students who wish to teach languages, those who plan to further their studies in graduate school, and those who seek careers in various types of foreign or foreign-related employment, either in government or business.
Major programs leading to the bachelor of arts degree are offered in French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. All major programs in foreign language require a total of 32 hours of coursework above the intermediate level.
The following languages may also be taken as a minor: French, German, Italian, Latin, Modern Greek, Russian, and Spanish. The minor consists of 15 hours of course work in French and Spanish above the second-year level, and 16 hours in the other languages except for the less commonly taught languages. In order to begin taking courses for the minor, the student will have satisfactorily completed the intermediate level or have equivalent proficiency in the foreign language.
