Foreign Languages, Cultures, and Literatures
(FLCL) comprises a number of programs based on the foreign languages currently
taught at Bard: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian,
Spanish, Ancient Greek, and Latin.
Hebrew and Sanskrit language classes are taught at Bard, but these two
languages are not available as a major.
While each program has its own intellectual
and academic plan, all are connected by the study of literature and other
cultural expressions through the medium of language. Students are free to work
with the languages and texts of more than one culture; thus they can combine
the plans of more than one of the FLCL programs in their Moderation and Senior
Project.
Common to all FLCL programs is a set of
requirements for Moderation that are formulated to allow flexibility for the
student while guaranteeing the focus necessary for both Moderation and the
successful completion of the Senior Project.
Moderation
Requirements:
1.
Demonstrated linguistic competence in
the language of concentration, usually consisting of three or more semesters of
language study.
2.
Competence in the literature (in the
narrower sense of this word) of the culture of concentration, demonstrated by
at least one course in this area, preferably a survey course.
3.
Competence in the culture of
concentration through successful completion of at least one course in a related
area outside of literature, such as history, philosophy, or music.
Graduation
Requirements:
Post-moderation
requirements are determined by the faculty in each language program. Within the interdisciplinary framework of
FLCL, a Senior Project can be a purely literary project or any combination of
literary and nonliterary expressions of a given culture.
