The language certificate, which consists of the equivalent of two years of language study, aims to give students basic intermediate level proficiency in any of the languages in the department, a training that can serve as a helpful professional credential to be paired with another degree.
Generally, completion of two elementary and two intermediate language courses in a single language offered in the department (15-16 credit hours). The table below shows the courses that will be part of this certificate. The actual course list will be maintained on a website so that the courses counting toward the certificate can be updated routinely as the languages available at KU change, which could occur with changes in Title VI funding and with changes in departmental faculty. Any language taught by the department will be added to the website list of languages that satisfy the requirements of this certificate.
