THE LANGUAGE-THROUGH-LINKAGE OPTION
Students should also be aware of the opportunities for perfecting their language skills while pursuing courses based in other departments. In these courses, students enroll simultaneously in a one-credit language course and in the three credit course to which it is attached. In addition to the class meetings and requirements of the three-credit course, students have special meetings with the language section to discuss films, readings, and presentations in the target language.
LTL courses include:
FR 295 (paired with ANT 238), RUSS/WL 253, SP 296 (paired with HIS 295/ 297)
