The Hunter Focus consists of 12 credits total. The composition of these credits will vary depending on the student’s matriculation status and language proficiency. All students are required to complete the Foreign Language requirement; after that is met, students begin Concentrated Study.

Intensive courses can be used to satisfy the two-course sequence at the Elementary and at the Intermediate levels.

Concentrated Study refers to courses that fulfill requirements for a declared minor, a second major or a certificate. The number of credits required for Concentrated Study ranges from 0-12 and is determined by the number of credits in a foreign language a student must take.
