If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

The International Affairs major requires 40 hours from the recommended list of courses with a “C minus“ or better in each course.

The specific set of elective courses taken will allow the students to choose between two different majors in linguistics: General Linguistics, which consists of regular courses in linguistics; and Linguistics and Languages, which combines linguistics courses with additional language courses.

Placement tests are available through the FSU Assessment & Testing Facility for French, German and Spanish. Students with prior proficiency in languages other than French, German, and Spanish must consult an advisor in the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics for proper course placement. If you are placed above a milestone, it is important that you continue with the next milestone in its place. Total hours above 120 vary based on language proficiency level of student.
