Note on Languages: Language study is optional in this minor. Students may, if they wish, apply six credits of language study by a) completing Arabic 101 and 102 at Pace, b) bypassing the SAT II in Hebrew, or c) transferring college credits in Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, or Turkish. Students beginning a language at the 101 level must complete a 102 level course in order to count language toward the minor. Native speakers of a Middle Eastern language may apply three credits to the minor by passing a proficiency test at Pace for Arabic and at NYU for other languages. |
