How many semesters of language do I need to complete before going abroad to a non-English-speaking country?
Most programs taught in the target language will require between 4 and 6 semesters of language study, or the equivalent. Some programs taught partially in English, or focusing on language acquistion, or in a country whose language is not widely taught in the US, will require less (perhaps just a year, or even none). For study in a Francophone country, students must take at least one four-credit course in French each semester they are enrolled at Mount Holyoke, and complete at least one course in culture and literature at the 200 level (215, 219, 225, or 230) prior to their departure. For study in a German-language program, students must take at least one four-credit course in German each semester prior to going abroad.
