Exploring people, cultures and languages

أهلاً وسهلاً  Welcome!  Bienvenu  Willkommen!   Χαίρε  Fáilte  ようこそ!  SALUTATIONES!   ¡Bienvenidos!

 

As a department we strive to help faculty and students across campus comprehend the value of and need for an international outlook in all the major areas of academic research and human inquiry.  Our programs help students, staff and faculty understand the diversity of human experiences throughout the world through the study of languages, cultures and literatures.

We endeavor to promote links between the foreign languages and other campus programs to build a broader, richer, more fully-developed, and intelligently-informed understanding of the world, its diverse people, cultures, languages, religions, societies, ethnicities and worldviews.

The Department of Modern and Classical Languages offers majors and minors in: Classical Languages, French, German, Latin and Spanish.

We also offer minors in: Ancient Greek, Japanese and beginning and intermediate language programs in: Arabic, Irish Gaelic, and Italian.

The Department of Modern and Classical Languages sadly notes the passing of Dr. Paul Schons, Professor of German, who taught from 1967-2012 in our department.
