This program is designed to teach you how to speak and read one or more foreign languages, as well as help you understand the cultures and literatures of other countries.

The department offers B.A.s and minors in Modern Foreign Languages with a concentration in French, German, Italian or Spanish. The department provides four years of instruction in French, German, Italian and Spanish, as well as two years in Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Latin.

The minimum requirement for a major in languages is 33 upper-division credit hours in a specific language. However, students pursuing a second major in an unrelated field or whose choice of language makes it impossible to meet that requirement may seek substitutions and/or waivers from the department head.
