The certificate program allows students to gain academic recognition for their foreign language work short of completing a major or minor. This form of recognition is better understood outside of academia than a minor. This certificate will benefit students in majors or minors in which language competency is an important component (International Studies, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Education, International Business).
Students can obtain a certificate with the completion of 15 credit hours and a minimum average GPA of 3.0 within Spanish classes. Students may take a Placement Test and be awarded up to 6 credit language hours toward the certificate, given that they complete a higher-level class taken at Flagler with a B or better. The certificate is available only to full-time, degree-seeking students of Flagler College.
Transfer credits may not be used to fulfill World Languages Certificate requirements. The certificate is not available to native and heritage speakers.
Recognition: The completion of the certificate will be mentioned in the student’s transcripts and the official certificate will be delivered separately upon graduation.
