The mission of the Modern Languages program is to provide students with opportunities to learn to speak, understand, read, and write other languages.
The study of a language different from one's own promotes communication with another culture on its own terms, through its peoples, literatures, histories and experiences of itself as a part of humanity.
While such communication has, in an electronic age, been greatly facilitated by technology, real understanding between peoples requires mutual knowledge and respect.
Language study opens a door into the diversity of our world, and so forms an important part of a humanities education.
Placement Credit
New students may take a placement test to determine their proficiency in French, German, or Spanish.
