Welcome
The Department of Foreign Languages introduces students to the cultures of Arabic, French, German, and Spanish speaking countries of the world, provides an understanding of their historical and contemporary significance, and facilitates development of proficiency in their languages. We currently offer the BA and BSE in Spanish, as well as the BA in Arabic.
With a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.E.) degree, the graduate in Spanish is prepared to teach a foreign language in high school. Upon completion of a Bachelor of Arts program in Spanish or Arabic, the student is prepared for a wide variety of employment opportunities. Minors in all four languages complement and enhance virtually every degree program.
Foreign service, museum work, banking (foreign department), international business, tourism, social services, the Peace Corps, or translation are possible areas of employment. Students who earn either a B.A. or a B.S.E. degree can go on to graduate school to prepare for a career in college teaching.
Through the study of language and culture, the department promotes global comprehension and prepares students to work, study, and travel abroad.
