  Satisfying the B.A. and B.S. Foreign Language Requirement
  The foreign language requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Arts is satisfied by completion of 222 or the equivalent. International students and resident aliens for whom it is determined that English is a second language may satisfy the requirement either as stated above or by taking an English course at the 200 level or above and passing with a grade of C or better.
  
  

The foreign language requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Science can be satisfied by passing a foreign language in one of the following ways. (1) Students entering with two years or more of study of a foreign language in high school can fulfill the requirement by completing 222 in the same language (i.e., the language used to satisfy the entrance requirement). French and Spanish students who begin with 115 may also fulfill the requirement by completing 122. (2) Students entering with a foreign-language deficiency can fulfill the requirement by completing 222 in the language used to remove the deficiency. (3) Students who switch from the language used to satisfy an entrance requirement, or to remove a deficiency to another language, can fulfill the requirement by completing 122 in that second language.
 
Major Requirements for B.A. and B.S.
Each student in a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree program must complete a major program of study consisting of not less than 18 semester hours of upper-division courses (up to six hours of these courses may be replaced by lower-division work in certain departments). A minimum grade of C (2.00) must be made in every course offered for the major, exclusive of lower-division prerequisites. Required and elective courses taken for pass/fail (P/F) where a P is recorded will count as satisfying the minimum-grade requirement. Transfer students must earn at least six hours in the major while in residence at The University of Tennessee at Martin. Requirements for the major are specified by the individual departments. Certain majors may also require a student to complete a minor program of study. (See individual departmental listings.)

For information on preparation for legal study or pre-theological study, see the Department of History and Philosophy section. For information on pre-professional curricula in the health sciences, see
the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences section.

 Minor Requirements for B.A. and B.S.
A minor in support of the B.A. or B.S. degree consists of not less than 12 hours of upper-division courses in a subject outside the major. Up to six hours of these courses may be replaced by lower-division work in certain departments. For requirements for minors other than those listed below, see the individual departmental listings.
