Language Undergraduate Programs
Our undergraduate program attracts a mix of traditional students, mid-career professionals, heritage speakers, and returned missionaries, all of whom contribute unique perspectives and experiences. Students often pursue second majors alongside their primary field of study, exploring diverse interests such as political science, business, anthropology, or history.

Vertical Credits
Students who successfully complete a foreign language class at ISU may earn up to eight credits (one year’s worth of language classes) for prerequisite courses not taken or tested out of (this includes withdrawn or failed courses). For example, students who pass Spanish 2201 with a grade of B- or higher can contact the Department of Anthropology and Languages, pay a $20 fee to start the petition to receive credit for Spanish 1101 and 1102. Vertical credits are available only as resident credits, that is, when the initial, higher-level course is completed at ISU. Placement into courses that allow for vertical credits is dependent upon approval from ISU’s Anthropology and Languages Department. The petition must be started in the same semester the course was passed.
Students should work with their advisor or instructor of the completed course to start the petition. The $20.00 payment must be made before the petition will be processed.
