What does the requirement of “a fifth semester of a foreign language or the equivalent” mean?
Students must complete a 5th semester college course or equivalent defined below. Each language department designates language courses by a certain semester or level in that language. If the language you are concentrating in does not offer a fifth semester, then the most advanced semester offered at UW-Madison will count as the equivalent of the fifth semester. Below is the fifth semester or last semester of a language that will count for the Global Cultures Program language requirement. Not all languages are listed below. Please contact the relevant language department for additional information.
