Playing a vital role in the liberal arts curriculum, the Department of Modern Languages offers superior instruction to undergraduates in eight foreign languages (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish).

Students with 30 hours of language study who wish to deepen their knowledge and perfect their language skills may pursue a Masters degree in either Modern Languages (with an emphasis in French, German or Spanish) or the Teaching of English as a Second Language (TESL).

Through scholarship, industry, and perseverance students will attain the high level of professional and academic competence that the faculty in Modern Languages demonstrates. Students with the M.A. in Modern Languages or TESL will be ready for a variety of challenging and rewarding careers.
