A certificate may be obtained in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic or Portuguese by successful completion of 16 credit hours in the language at the 100 level or higher and in conjunction with a bachelor’s degree. At least 8 credits must be completed at The University of Tampa. Students who wish to pursue a certificate in their native language may not enroll in courses below the 300 level. The certificate program allows students the option of gaining academic recognition for their foreign language work short of completing a major or minor. It is also meant to complement the certificate in international studies by providing a vehicle for students of any discipline to acquire the foreign language proficiency required by this program.
