Scandinavian Studies (SCAN)
Andreasson-Hogg
(Scandinavian Studies will transition from an academic major to an academic minor for students starting after the 2021 academic year.)
The objectives of the Scandinavian Studies major are: 1) to impart to the student a knowledge of the Swedish or Norwegian language in its spoken and written forms and 2) to develop the student’s awareness of the environmental and cultural context of the Scandinavian languages, i.e., Scandinavian history, literature, arts and contemporary society in five countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland); and 3) to develop abilities comprehending Scandinavian languages.
