Majors shown in red italics are proposed for the Class of 2010.

Critical Languages• FA101, FC101, FJ101 or FR101 – new courses for you!• Arabic and Chinese majors have been approved.• Regional Studies Majors (Asian and Middle Eastern) are tentative (waiting

approval) starting with the class of 2010 • To be selected:

– You must have a strong general academic background with high Math SAT/ACTs.– Interview with the Language Studies representative during the platoon's scheduled

15minute Q&A period at 1430.– Take the DLAB - Defense Language Aptitude Battery test on 24July (Results

determine which plebes can take one of the critical language courses in the fall.) • It is easier to take a critical language course if:

– You have validated one or more courses.  This makes it easier to fit in these language courses into your course matrix. 

• If you haven’t validated a course:– Don’t worry!!– You can delay taking FP130 and HH104 to an upperclass year to make room for

the language courses.– You will not fall behind because all critical language courses completed will count

as HUM/SS electives for all majors.• Important Navy program. Financial incentives for language proficiency.

– up to $300 per month additional pay for critical language proficiency.
