Courses that fulfill this requirement will be identified in the biannual registration materials. Foreign Language One of the most important features of a liberal education is familiarity with the language of a culture other than ones own. Such familiarity not only clarifies a students sense of her own cultural identity, but also enhances her articulateness and enlarges her view of the scope of thought and language. Languages currently available for study in Claremont include Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish. Classical Greek, and Latin are also available. The Scripps language requirement is met by demonstrating competency and proficiency in one foreign language, ancient or modern, by: a.The achievement of a thorough knowledge of basic grammatical structure; b.The ability to write a composition correctly; and c. In the case of a modern language, the ability to understand a native speaker at a moderate speed and to respond intelligently.The required level of language competency must be demonstrated in one of the following ways: 1. By passing the third-semester level course in one language through The Claremont Colleges Modern Languages Program, the cooperative Classics Department, or full-course American Sign Language credit. Students are strongly encourage to fulfill the language requirement in an uninterrupted sequence. In all cases, however, the language requirement must be completed by the end of the first semester of the senior year. 194 SCRIPPS COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS FOR BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE
