Can I really fulfill my language requirement in one year with Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, or Yiddish (and even German)?
Yes, you can: students can fulfill their language requirement in one year (2 semesters), not two years (4 semesters) as before, by signing up for Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, or Yiddish (in the Fall) and 612 (in the Spring). This sequence is equivalent to the 506, 507, 312K, and 312L sequence in other languages and fulfills the language requirement.
