I have experience with some upper level science courses, and they can be hard. The chemistry department's policy is basically that the class is curved so that half the students get A's and B's... the other half doesn't. When you take into account the fact that all students here are smart and willing to work (there are exceptions, of course), that's a pretty hard curve. No premed wants a C on his or her transcript, and people work very hard to that end, but half of every class by definition will not succeed. I'm taking a class in biology that has the same exact curve.</p>

That spanish class is only open to medical professionals, eg. doctors, not really undergrads, I'm pretty sure.
But I have taken foreign language courses here, and I'm very pleased.</p>
