Objectives: The department has pri­ marily a service function supporting the overall objectives of the university and meeting the requirements of other aca­ demic departments and programs. Spanish and Greek offer concentrations as part of the humanities maior The general objec­ tives of the department are to increase lin­ guistic aptitude and give a limited insight into the cultural and literary values of other cultures. By taking courses in the depart­ ment of foreign languages it is intended that the student demonstrate a basic knowledge of a language by being able to ident ify a standard vocabulary and essent ial grammatical structures; display a modest ability to translate literature; show an ap­ preciation for the role of language as a function of the mind and medium of ex­ pression in another culture; acqu ire skills for using a foreign language as a research tool; and develop an attitude and method for continued language learning necessary for bilingual service at home or abroad. Humanities Major: Foreign Language Concentration Either Greek or Spanish may serve as the area of concentration and consists of 18 upper division units in either language. Advisement for human­ ities majors with a foreign language con­ centration is through the department of foreign languages See page 49. NOTE: To fulfill the foreign language re­ quirement for the Bachelor of Arts de­ gree. it is necessary to complete three se­ mesters of a modern language or four se­ mesters of classical language. for a total of 12 un its.
