Below we illustrate two sample trajectories through the SAP program:
Track 1 illustrates a possible path for students coming to the SAP program with at least two years of College French (or its equivalent).
Track 2 illustrates a possible path for students coming to the SAP program with one year of College French (or its equivalent).
We underscore the fact that students in the SAP program will — in collaboration with the SAP Program Director and with their advisor — design a customized program of study reflecting their prior preparation, interests and goals.
