Foreign Language Requirement
Second Language Requirement
Students seeking the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts are required to complete a 2000-level second language course or demonstrate equivalent proficiency as measured by a competency test.
Languages which may be used to meet the second language requirement include French, German, Spanish, American Sign Language, and other languages as approved and arranged through the Department of International and Second Language Studies. Students may meet the requirement in one of the following ways:
- Successfully completing a 2000-level second language course at UALR and satisfying all the prerequisites for that course
- Transferring the equivalent courses from another institution of higher education
- Demonstrating equivalent proficiency on a language test.
At this time, the foreign languages that are offered online at UALR are Spanish, French, and German. If you are interested in another foreign language, UALR will accept foreign language courses in transfer from other accredited colleges or universities. You can contact your academic advisor for these options.
