College Misericordia to offer two foreign languages again Foreign languages will be of- fered as part of the curriculum at College Misericordia beginning with the fall 1993 semester, Dr. Mary Glennon, RSM, academic dean, has announced. French and Spanish will be offered at Misericordia for the first time since 1977. Humanities majors and busi- ness majors must complete six ‘credits of a foreign language while -allother students can choose three oor six credits of a language as an elective. The availability of foreign lan- guages is an important addition to the Misericordia curriculum according to Dr. Donald Fries, chair of the humanities division. “Foreign language courses will help Misericordia students pre- pare for graduate school as well as international employment opportunities,” explained Fries. Each language will be taught in two introductory sections, two intermediate sections and one advanced section. Students can choose to test out of the introduc- tory and intermediate sections and study in the advanced section, an intensive reading course.
