University Studies requires a student to obtain proficiency through the 201-level (equivalent to foreign language 211 at NCCCs) in a language previously studied or the 102-level (equivalent to foreign language 112 at NCCCs) in a second foreign language not previously studied. Students will demonstrate proficiency by completing a course at the 201 level or higher in a language previously studied or at the 102-level in a second foreign language. If you graduated high school 7 or more years before you enrolled at UNCW, an exception applies to you. Then you only need to complete a language course at the 102 level (or higher).
Students are encouraged to build the North Carolina Community College (NCCC) course recommendations below into the associate degree to best prepare for the intended university and major.

The University of North Carolina Wilmington strongly recommends students complete their Associates’ degree prior to transferring to UNCW.
The teacher licensure program will help you gain the knowledge and skills needed to serve in educational leadership roles. You will learn to make consistent, defensible and appropriate decisions to help students achieve expected learning outcomes in Spanish.
A grade of “C-” or better is required in each course counted toward the major and a grade point average of 2.000 or better for all courses counted towards the major. Also required is a passing score on the departmental French oral proficiency exam.
To earn teacher licensure in foreign language education, 40 hours of education courses in addition to the specialty area are required. Students wishing to pursue teacher preparation programs must be formally admitted to the Watson College of Education and to the Teacher Education Program.
