Students may apply up to 8 credits of coursework in a language other than English taken at the University of Oregon or through a University of Oregon study abroad or exchange program to CHC Electives requirement.
Please note:
- Language coursework at any level (from 100-level to 400-level) can be applied to the CHC Electives requirement.
- Language credits CAN double-dip with Bachelor of Arts (or other Bachelor degree) requirements, major requirements, and/or minor requirements.
- Language credits may be taken graded or pass/no pass.
- While transfer, AP, or IB credits will typically fulfill degree, major, or minor language requirements, they do not count towards the CHC Electives requirement.
- Students who wish to further their study of a language for which classes are not regularly offered at UO are encouraged to contact the Yamada Language Center to explore credit-bearing self-study options.
- Students who complete 8 credits of required AEIS coursework may request to have those credits fulfill the CHC Electives requirement.
If you have taken language coursework that you believe should fulfill the CHC Electives requirement (e.g., Old English, self-study through the Yamada Language Center, AEIS coursework, etc.) but your degree audit does not show it as applying, please contact your CHC advisor.
