Advisors

Program advisors for the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures (MLC) have the ability to advise students about majors, minors, transfer credit, and cluster exceptions within MLC. Advisors are also are authorized to sign off on forms to declare majors and minors, and to approve transfer credit toward a major or minor.

If you are looking to receive transfer credit for the first two years of study for a language, you need approval from an advisor of that language. All other transfer courses can be approved by anyone listed below or on the authorized signature list.
