Students who have completed the 102 course in a foreign language may continue to develop their proficiency through applied language components of courses taught in English. This allows them to read and discuss, in the foreign language, selected texts and materials pertinent to the subject matter of the course. These courses are offered in a variety of disciplines, including Global Studies, Business, Political Science and History. Students meet one additional hour per week with their instructor(s) to discuss the texts in the foreign language. Those who successfully complete the language portion of such a course will receive an additional language credit.

Although the English-language portion does not apply to the major or minor (except for those in East Asian Studies and Italian Studies), credit for the ALC will be given for the major or minor.
