Every undergraduate student at 天美传媒视频无限制观看, beginning with the Class of 2023, must complete one semester of a language as part of the Magis Core. Depending on one’s program of study, the student will also be required to complete a second semester of that same language OR a second mathematics course. Because 天美传媒视频无限制观看 is committed to each student being exposed to other cultures/traditions as part of a liberal arts education formation, there will be no place-outs of the one-semester language requirement.
