BA Requirements:

  1. Knowledge of a modern language demonstrated by completing two courses (for beginning language instruction, 4 credits per course, otherwise 3 credits per course), consistent with the student's score on the Foreign Language Placement Test (FLPT), taught in the target language by the Department of Modern Languages.
    • The FLPT is used for placement into Norwich language courses only.  No credit is awarded based on the student's score on this test.
    • Modern Language coursework transferred from an accredited institution may be substituted for Norwich courses, to satisfy this requirement.
  1. A minimum of two 3-credit Intercultural Knowledge and Competence courses.  The courses meeting this requirement emphasize a comparative approach that involves multiple perspectives regarding one or more cultural differences (ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexuality, disability studies, etc.) within the United States or across multiple societies.
    • Courses satisfying this requirement must be taken from OUTSIDE the major program, meaning the course must have a subject different from the courses in the student's designated primary major program.
