Modern Languages

Faculty

The main objectives of the Modern Languages are to: equip the student with a working knowledge of the language for communication and research in such areas as business, music, travel, personal enrichment, and social activities; acquaint the student with the literature and civilization of the language; prepare the student to teach language and culture; and prepare the student for graduate work in a chosen field.


A student majoring in a second language will acquire the ability to communicate reasonably well in speaking and writing, in reading materials of a general nature, and understanding the language spoken by a native. The student will become knowledgeable about the landmarks in literature and civilization and the history and achievements of that civilization and will develop an appreciation, understanding and tolerance of the richness and variety of a second culture. Exposure to a second language and culture will help any individual planning to live and work in a bilingual culture or environment.

Majors include: Spanish (B.A.) and Spanish Teaching (B.A.).
