As a liberal arts institution, Quincy University readily acknowledges the global and very interactive nature of the world we live in today. Consequently, we are committed to offering our students the skills they need to effectively and successfully communicate with others in both their personal and professional lives. Diversity in our languages program is an integral part of that commitment. From a curricular perspective, these courses also afford our students with more choice in meeting the requirements of the Bonaventure Program (BP) as well as of their respective degree programs. Credit may also be arranged for approved study abroad programs.
A specific language may not necessarily fulfill the language requirement for all programs. Consult with the Dean for a program to determine whether a language is acceptable for the specific program. ASL courses may be used to fulfill the language requirement when approved by the program.
Introductory and intermediate level courses are currently available in American Sign Language, German, French, Latin and Spanish. Courses in other languages are available on an Independent Study basis as are more advanced courses in the primary languages. Students may also apply for a Contract Minor in a language.
Placement tests for all languages except Latin will be administered prior to registration. See Language Placement Tests.
Quincy University offers Greek courses. These courses count as Theology elective credit.
Advanced Placement Opportunities:
