World Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences Transfer Pattern

Important Information

Semester Sequence

This is a suggested full-time schedule for a student who has completed any developmental course work and has no transfer credits. Refer to the College catalog for specific requirements in selecting General Education Courses .

Courses Needed for This Transfer Pattern*

Total Number of Credits Required for Degree: 60 min*

Notes:

*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed transferable college credits from other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 - Academic Development: Transitioning to College . This 1-credit course is designed to be taken in the first semester at CCBC. Students must provide an official transcript(s) from an accredited institution to document successful completion of college coursework for the ACDV 101 requirement to be waived.

World language courses satisfy the General Education Diversity course requirement.

Most four-year universities require three to four semesters of a single world language.

Several world languages are offered in online (Distance Education) and blended formats. Students registering for a world language course in an online or blended format should understand how an online learning environment functions. Online and blended courses may be more challenging for students with no prior experience with the language. Though the 101 level is always taught for beginners, online and blended world language courses are better suited for students with some prior experience with the language.

Transfer Pattern Description

This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in World Languages. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.

Since four-year institutions vary widely in their requirements, students intending to major in World Languages should contact the program coordinator as soon as possible to plan the appropriate sequence of study.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

1. use high-intermediate vocabulary and grammatical structures of the primary target language* and introductory vocabulary and grammatical structures in the secondary target language* successfully in written and spoken exercises;
2. comprehend and analyze a variety of topics in the written and spoken language at the mid to high-intermediate level in the primary target language and at the mid to high-novice level in the secondary target language;
3. engage in ongoing conversations to complete tasks and express interests and preferences at a mid to high-intermediate level of the primary target language and at a mid to high-novice level of the secondary target language;
4. interpret other disciplines through the study of the target languages;
5. understand language as a fundamental category of diversity and analyze the histories, traditions, practices and perspectives of diverse speakers of the target languages (both dominant and underrepresented groups)  in the US and throughout the world; and
6. evaluate the experiences of diverse speakers of the target languages in both historical and contemporary contexts;

*Primary target language = language studied for four semesters, up to high-intermediate level (level 101, 102, 201 and 202).
*Secondary target language = language studied for two semesters, up to high-novice level (level 101 and 102).
