Foreign Languages
Professor Susan Schneibel, Chair, Division of Humanities
Instruction is available in seven foreign languages; a major is offered in Spanish, and minors are offered in French, German, and Spanish. Course descriptions can be found under listings for French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Sign Language Interpreting. Greek, Hebrew, and Latin are occasional special offerings.
The study of foreign languages offers an introduction to new cultural patterns along with the acquisition of specific skills that are increasingly useful in a closely interrelated world. Business majors who are proficient in a foreign language will find broader opportunities in their field, and political science majors interested in international law would do well to study several languages. All students planning to attend graduate school should prepare themselves with at least one additional language.
