The Department of Modern Languages provides instruction in support of the M.A.Ed in secondary education with a specialization in the appropriate language. Prospective students should contact the chair of the department for details on advising and graduate program design.

Students who are required by their departments to demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language may satisfy the requirement in one of the following ways:

The native language of a foreign student may be accepted to meet the graduate language requirements if recommended by the student's advisor and approved by the graduate coordinator of the student's college.

For those disciplines which permit the substitution of statistics, computer science, or a combination thereof for a foreign language, the requirement may be met by the satisfactory completion of two semesters of the permitted substitute courses with grades of C or better. These courses are in addition to the total number of hours required for the degree. A proficiency examination administered by the appropriate department may be accepted in lieu of the required course work.
