Foreign Languages & Culture
Since Baylor’s mission is to “educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service,” it is essential that graduates be able to demonstrate proficiency in a second language at the intermediate level, for which completion of 2310 is the minimum. The requirement also encourages students to continue developing proficiency in a second language beyond 2310 if they have already met the 2310 minimum but gives students the opportunity to take classes taught in English that explore cultures in non-English-speaking linguistic traditions.
