Non-Western Studies

Director:  Dr. Michael Sollenberger, Foreign Languages & Literatures

Mount St. Mary's University offers upper-level non-Western courses in various disciplines as part of the senior core requirement, to enhance major and minor programs, and to expand the general choice of electives.  Students may take non-Western courses at any time--as early as the freshman year.  Students may not take a non-Western studies course for core credit, however, until junior year at the earliest.
