The first four courses listed under each group are required for that particular language component; exceptions or substitutions may be made only with the approval of the student's advisor in consultation with the Romance Language Advisory Committee. To achieve the total of 45 credits, 21 credits are taken in each of the two languages, as specified, and three additional credits are taken at the 400-level in either of the languages chosen.
