Transition with Purpose: Pathways from English Language to Academic Study

42 *Students completing a BS, BM or BFA who have not met the Second Language requirement will also need to satisfy this requirement prior to graduation. Please see the World Languages & Literatures w ebsite for information how to satisfy the requirement. With many majors, students may select either the B.A. or the B.S. degree. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, Applied Linguistics, English, International Studies, Judaic Studies and World Languages majors may only earn a Bachelor of Arts degree, while Engineering and Computer Science majors may only earn a Bachelor of Science. Only music majors may select the Bachelor of Music and only Art Practices and Creative Writing majors can select the Bachelor of Fine Arts and both of these require selective admission to the major via audition or portfolio. Students should consult with the appropriate academic advisor regarding options in their intended major.
