Any 300- or 400-level course in foreign literature or equivalent courses in other languages, if offered. Some of these courses require a reading knowledge of the language; others allow students without knowledge of the language to read the works in English translation. Foreign language courses at the 300- or 400-level are included since many students place directly into these upper-level courses and need not pass through the prerequisite language courses.
