Modern Languages Department

NEW! Placement tests for incoming freshmen.

Courses in French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian help students build command of the spoken and written word while gaining an understanding of the culture of other civilizations. Stressing an active teaching style, the Modern Languages department encourages immersion in the languages and offers a variety of opportunities for study-abroad experiences.

Employers think students who have studied other languages build accuracy and ease in their own.
