World Languages and Cultures
The Department of World Languages and Cultures offers an undergraduate degree (B.A.) in Spanish with minors in French and Portuguese. A two-year sequence of courses is also offered in Swahili.

The current language program is supported by the Language Media Center which employs a full-time director to assist students in the development of the essential language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and culture. Tutorial assistance is also provided in Spanish and French. Language majors and minors from this department are currently working in various professions throughout the country: teaching, business, medicine, law. The Department of World Languages and Cultures plays a pivotal role in preparing students to meet their General Education Requirements and the world citizenship responsibilities of the 21st century.
