Planning Recommendations:

  • Students are strongly urged to spend a year outside of the U.S. in a study-abroad program sponsored by Hendrix or another institution. Please consult your faculty advisor in the appropriate target language and location.
  • Language majors considering graduate study are strongly encouraged to take at least the Basic Sequence, typically the 110 and 120 course numbers, in another language.
