LESSER COMMONLY-TAUGHT LANGUAGES / CRITICAL LANGUAGES TAUGHT ON A YEARLY CYCLE
- From time to time the Dept. of Foreign Languages and Literatures will put certain languages on a "year on" / "year off" cycle. For example, Arabic and Zulu which were taught AY 2008-2009 will not be taught the following year, AY 2009-2010; Instead Japanese will be offered. This cycle guarantees that all these courses will be taught at least twice in the typical Rowan undergraduate student's stay with us. Likewise, other languages as well (such as Latin, Russian)may be cycled for reasons determined by the Department. If you do not see the language that you would like to study, and before signing up for one you really don't want to take, please stop by the Foreign Languages and Literatures office for an update. We generally know a year in advance which languages will be cycled.
