General Degree Notes You must begin your Math and English sequences with the appropriate course. The English course you start with will be determined by your ACT/SAT score. The Math course you start with will be determined by your UW Math Placement score. Please refer to your Academic Advising Report and adjust the sample 4 year plan accordingly. All students must complete a minimum of 120 credits including: 1) At least 32 units of general education, including specific Gen Ed core courses, as well as approved math and science, physical education, and elective courses. Your general education electives must come from the following categories: GA, GS, GH, GE, or GI. 2) All requirements for the BA or BS Degree. 3) All requirements for the major and minor (if required). College of Letters and Sciences Degree Notes This plan includes Bachelor of Arts (BA) requirements. For the BA, students must demonstrate that they have achieved basic competency in a foreign language equivalent to one year of study at the college level. Students must also complete two 300/400 level courses outside of the major and minor subjects. A Bachelor of Science (BS) is also available. For the BS, students must complete two lab sciences and 5 credits of advanced math or two 3 credit courses chosen from advanced math, statistics or computer science instead of the BA requirements. Major Notes This Sample 4-year Plan assumes that you will have started German study in high school; students who place lower/higher than German 251 (third-semester German) will need more/fewer German credits. Courses in bold typeface (on the previous page) indicate specific courses that must be completed for the major. PLACEMENT TESTS UW System Placement Tests exist for students of French, German and Spanish with previous background (e.g., high school). The score will suggest the appropriate level for your first university course (1st through 5th semester). Students of other foreign languages should contact the instructor regarding placement. Native or "heritage" speakers should speak with the Foreign Language Coordinator about placement. RETROACTIVE CREDITS (RETROCREDITS, RETROS) If your first university foreign language course is at the second-semester or higher level, you may qualify for up to 16 retroactive credits per language (equivalent to the courses below it in the sequence), provided that you receive a B or higher. For example, if you complete German 251 (3rd semester German) with a B or higher grade, you'll earn four credits for German 251 plus eight retrocredits equivalent to German 141 (1st semester German – 4 credits) and German 142 (2nd semester German – 4 credits). The Phonetics (310) and Conversation (390) classes may not be used to earn retrocredits. AP CREDIT Students with scores of 3 or higher on AP (Advanced Placement) foreign language tests earn "credit by examination." It will also serve as the prerequisite for taking higher classes, but students will earn retrocredits (see above) to fill in the missing lower-level credits in the language sequence only when they complete a course on campus. COURSE ROTATION Please consult the Foreign Language Coordinator or a Foreign Language Program advisor concerning the rotation of courses in your language(s). Some courses are taught every year and others less frequently. FOREIGN LANGUAGE COORDINATOR Peter Hoff, the Foreign Language Coordinator, is available to meet with you about these or other questions and concerns you might have.
