ACCELERATED PATHWAY
TRADITIONAL PATHWAY
BEGINNER PATHWAY
The Accelerated Pathway is designed for native, heritage, or advanced speakers of French or Spanish.
Students express interest to Dr. Fiori and Dr. Telford.
Students host an oral, public presentation on a cultural topic of their choice in the language of the minor.
Students complete 3 electives in the language of study at Daemen College. (*Some student might be required to complete a Spanish for Spanish speakers course).
Upon demonstration of language proficiency and successful completion of the three elective courses, students apply to the Committee on Academic Standards for Credits for Life; one 200-level course and one 300-level course.
Note: if a student has AP credits they may be applied in place of assigning the Credits for Life.
The traditional pathway invites students with intermediate level proficiency, AP credits in the 100-level sequences, or demonstrable abilities in intermediate level classes.
Students choose five (3-credit) courses at the 200 and 300 level in the language.
AP credit may be applied for up to six credits.
For students who need to begin language study at 101 and 102, this is your pathway.
Students build a foundation in 101 & 102.
Enroll in the 105 and 106 sequence. Earning a grade of B or better allows the 105, 106 language sequence to count toward the minor.
After successful completion of 105, 106 with a B or better students enroll into four (3-credit) language courses at the 200 & 300 level to complete the minor.
