WelcomeThe Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures is part of the College of Liberal Arts and shares its vision for equipping well-rounded students for entry into the global community. Communication skills, linguistic dexterity, critical thinking and cultural awareness provide learners with the practical tools they will need in today’s competitive, multilingual marketplace; of equal importance is the broader understanding of society the student acquires through cultural exchange in the target language. Our diverse course offerings range from basic-intermediate-advanced language studies and traditional linguistics and literature courses to topic-driven courses in film, cultural identity, and foreign language business. Students also can benefit from interdisciplinary “Languages Across the Curriculum” and “Service Learning” outreach courses that extend the classroom beyond the traditional campus. Students pursuing foreign language majors and minors and graduate degrees enjoy myriad careers in the fields of business, communications, education and government; many cite their foreign language skills as the foundation for their continued studies in medicine, law, business, and academia. Foreign language study is simply part of a very basic liberal education: to educate is to lead out of confinement and narrowness and darkness. 25 Reasons to Study Foreign Languages
