Linda Gillison, Chair
Instruction is offered in the following languages and literatures:
Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Latin, Russian
and Spanish, as well as in linguistics, foreign literatures in
English translation, and the study of foreign cultures. Undergraduate
courses have been planned to meet the needs of students who began
studying a language in high school as well as those who undertake
such study for the first time at the University.
The courses are intended to serve several purposes: (1) Contribute
to the general education of students by giving them an opportunity
to gain insight into patterns of living and thinking which are
different from their own: (2) Enable students to gain proficiency
in the language; (3) Prepare candidates for careers in research
and college teaching by providing a solid basis for graduate studies
in the various languages; (4) Prepare future teachers of foreign
languages; (5) Give language training requisite to careers in
government, foreign commerce and library work; (6) Enable students
to read foreign publications and to meet graduate foreign language
requirements in their field.
A 28 position multi-media computer laboratory and a joint 40 position
language laboratory with facilities for video/audio individual
and group interaction, computerized language programs, and satellite
TV are used to supplement regular class work, and are available
to give the individual student opportunity to develop active use
of the language. Language tapes are available for individual student
checkout from Instructional Materials Service.
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offers undergraduate
majors in Classics (Greek and Latin), French, German, Japanese,
Russian, and Spanish. Within the French or German major it is
possible to elect an option in linguistics. Within Classics, it
is possible to elect options in Classical Languages (Latin and
Creek), Classical Civilization, and Latin. There is an undergraduate
minor in Chinese. The Master of Arts degree is offered in French,
German and Spanish. A master degree with a concentration in classics
or linguistics may be obtained by means of the Master of Interdisciplinary
Studies program.
High School Preparation: Credit is automatically granted for Advanced
Placement scores of 3, 4, or 5. At each UM Orientation, the department
offers a computerized placement/assessment examination in French,
Spanish and German (the FCAPE, SCAPE and GCAPE). Students also
can arrange individually to take the CLEP exam, administered by
the Clinical Psychology Center in French, German or Spanish.
These exams are not required, but serve one or more of three purposes:
l. Exemption from the General Education Competency Requirement
in Foreign Language: if the student achieves a score that indicates
a competence equivalent to the completion of French, German, or
Spanish 102 (second semester). (See the General Education Requirements
section of this catalog.)
2. Placement for further study in the language: the score achieved
on this test is an accurate indicator of the course level at which
language study should be resumed at the University (e.g. 102,
201, 202).
3. Credit by examination: A student with extensive language study
may score high enough on the placement exam to qualify for University
credits if she or he places into 202 or 301. By taking the course
into which she or he placed (202 or 301) and receiving a B or
better, the student may then receive four by-pass credits (Pass
grade only) for the preceding course (201or 202).
Students who elect not to take this exam may:
l. Satisfy the General Education Competency Requirement in Foreign
Language by successfully completing a University foreign language
102 (second semester) course.
2. Estimate their placement level for further study by the approximate
equating of one year of high school study to one semester of university
study. Students should consult with the department in making this
estimate.
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures strongly recommends
that foreign language majors take, as early as possible in their
college career, Liberal Studies 151L 152L Introduction to the
Humanities, and FLLG 160L Classical Mythology.
Foreign Study Programs. The Foreign Languages
and Literatures Department offers programs of accredited study
in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Japan, and
Russia. Each program is supervised by a University of Montana
Foreign Languages faculty member, and is open to any student who
meets the respective foreign language prerequisites. Details concerning
individual programs are available from the Department of Foreign
Languages and Literatures. The department also sponsors graduate
student exchanges with the Universities of Heidelberg and Burgundy,
as well as work/study internships abroad for students in French,
German, and Japanese.
Special Degree Requirements
Refer to graduation requirements listed previously in the catalog.

Total credits required for a major in a foreign language vary
with the student's high school preparation or language credit
transferred from another college or university. Requirements for
academic majors are set forth below under the various languages.
Requirements for teaching majors and minors also are listed under
the School of Education. Three semesters or equivalent of a second
language are required for all students majoring in French, German,
