Coursework in Foreign Languages

The world is full of languages.  How far do you have to go from your front door to know that this is true?  Think about how many people and places you could really get to know, newspapers and books you could read, movies and TV programs you could understand.  Websites you could visit with another language!

Did you know that studying a second language can improve your skills and grades in Math and English and can improve entrance exam scores – SATs, ATS, GREs, MCATs, and LSATs?  Research has shown that math and verbal SAT scores climb higher with each additional year of world language study, which means that the longer you study a world language, the stronger your skills become to succeed in school.  Studying a world language can improve your analytic and interpretive capacities.  Three years of language study on your record will catch the eye of anyone reading your job or college application.  You can learn intercultural competence and cultural awareness in exciting new ways, using technology and focusing on communication.

Courses will be offered for the following languages (if resources are available)

  • Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Quechua
  • Somali
  • Spanish
  • French
  • German
  • Romanian
  • Swahili

Course Delivery Methods

Online Courses

  • Students meet online either individually or in groups and follow a full semester classroom- track syllabus.

Individualized Language Instruction Online

  • Individualized programs offer self-paced, mastery-based language learning courses designed to mirror the content of courses offered in the classroom. The learning is of a highly independent nature. It features one-on-one instruction, flexible scheduling and student autonomy. Each course is the equivalent in content and in credit hours to the classroom track course at the same level. All students must perform at the 80% level or better to continue in the program. Variable credit is awarded by The Ohio State University (OSU) for these courses based on the successful completion of modules. One module of completion is equivalent to one credit. Credit earned from completion of these courses can be applied toward an undergraduate degree at either OSU or another four year institution.

  • You are following the UP Curriculum Pathway from the associate to the bachelor’s degree.
    • For 2:2 degrees, you have been admitted to the partner institution and have registered for your first classes the upcoming semester, 3rd year of partner classes.  The first day of the 3rd year class, you are officially a UP student.
    • For 3:1 degrees, you are a UP student if you are registered for the 3rd year in either bridgework LCCC classes or UP partner classes. You may not be necessarily admitted with the UP partner just yet.  The first day of the 3rd year of UP or LCCC bridgework class, you are officially a UP student.
  • UP Office will use the email address your partner institution shares with us, which is once a semester, to email out a reminder to you about the UP program supports and services.
  • If you are unsure if you are in the UP, you are welcome to email or call the UP Office to verify your status.
