Welcome to the Department of Modern Languages

This Department provides students with intellectual language and cultural studies. We invite you to explore the information provided on this website.  Current and prospective students can find helpful information about declaring a language major and program requirements on the student advising pages.

Mission Statement:  The ability to communicate across national and linguistic borders has become essential in our globalized world.  The mission of the Department of Modern Languages is to help students develop the linguistic, literary and cross-cultural competence necessary to live, work and be lifelong learners in our diverse world.
