Foreign Language - Associate in Arts (603)

Associate in Arts (603)

This program prepares students to transfer to four-year institutions to pursue a bachelor's degree in languages (i.e. Spanish). Students who have already chosen the university to which they plan to transfer should consult that institution's catalog or department advisor and an SVCC academic advisor in planning their program. Students pursuing foreign language education should meet with an academic advisor.
