International Studies (major, concentration, minor, and
cluster)
Department of
Languages and International
Studies
The purpose of the International Studies program (major, minor,
and cluster) is to provide an avenue for students wishing to maximize
the opportunity for linguistic and international competence while
developing a disciplinary specialty that would allow them to enter the
workforce directly or prepare them for graduate school in a number
of different disciplines or professions. The major is unique in its
modular structure, including a core in Economics, History, Geography, and Political Science, area studies in culture, and the flexibility
to choose a minor or clusters. Students must demonstrate language
proficiency at the third-year level. Students may also take a concentration, minor, or cluster in International Studies.

• International Studies

Minors
Ours is a world in which all types of formal and informal interaction
between peoples of varied backgrounds and languages is increasingly possible and important. During this era of rapid globalization,
more than ever before everyone can benefit from the vital skills of
languages, cultural knowledge, and global competency.

TESOL
• Area - Asian Languages, European Languages, Latin American
Languages, Slavic and East European Languages, World Languages
• Multi-Lingual - Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Cambodian, Cantonese, Cebuano, Croatian, Czech, Danish,
Dutch, Estonian, Farsi-Persian, Fijian, Finnish, Georgian, Greek
(modern), Guarani, Haitian-Creole, Hiligaynon, Hmong,
Hungarian, Icelandic, Ilonggo/Hiligaynon, Indonesian, Italian,

In the Doctrine and Covenants we are counseled to learn “of things
which are at home [and] things which are abroad: the wars and the
perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land,
and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—that ye may be
prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have
commissioned you” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:79-80). We are further counseled in the 90th Section to “study and learn, and become
acquainted with all good books, and with languages, tongues, and
people” (Doctrine and Covenants 90:15).
Students who choose a multi-lingual minor must first pass the BYU
FLATS exam in their language of study.

Languages and International Studies
Brigham Young University–Idaho 2015-2016
Native speakers should begin at the 321 level in French, German and
Spanish, at the 301 level in Chinese and at the 202 level in Russian.
However, if the native speaker is an education major or education
minor in a language, he or she should begin studies at the 202 level
(302 in Spanish).
Note: Students who are interested in obtaining a language teaching
minor (which requires proof of language proficiency on the Praxis
exam) and who have not already lived in the target country, are
strongly encouraged to participate in a semester abroad or equivalent
program.
Credit by Exam
Returned missionaries and others with extensive non-academic
foreign language experience should begin their studies at the 202
level (302 for Spanish) and may test out of 101, 102 and 201 if they
need these courses. For information about foreign language credit
by exam, visit our department website at http://www.byui.edu/
languages-international-studies. Native speakers are ineligible for
these exams. Because credit and time constraints are tight, students
with high school language experience should begin their studies at
the highest level possible. A placement exam may help determine
which course you should take, based on your ability. This exam can
be found at http://www.byui.edu/languages-international-studies/
language-exams/placement-exam. For more information, visit or
email a teacher in the language you wish to study.
