World Languages Department
The World Languages curricula enable students to communicate effectively and accurately in a second language. Courses emphasize communicative competence in writing and speaking the target language as well as the understanding of the culture and literature of the countries in which it is spoken. The department provides opportunities for students to participate in activities and events with those of other linguistic backgrounds.
