Are there any idiosyncrasies in the Distribution Requirement?
You won’t get Foreign Language credit for first-year French or first-year Spanish. This is because many students have taken French and Spanish in high school, and might choose to repeat that work at Middlebury in order to satisfy the distribution requirement. Other than that, it’s pretty straightforward: one course in seven of eight categories. Note in the course catalog that distribution categories are listed after the course description.
