Program Overview

The study of modern languages, as well as cultures and literatures in their original languages, is an intellectual experience that allows students to recognize and embrace language and cultural diversity.  Language learning goes beyond the development of linguistic skills: it fosters creativity, tolerance, and inclusion, while promoting the development of critical thinking skills.

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures stresses proficiency in all language skills, as well as the development of a cultural awareness, to prepare students for careers in business, communication, education, government, health sciences, social work, translation and interpreting, and related professions.  Similarly, our varied coursework encourages the study of bi/multilingualism and bi/multiculturalism in the context of the United States and around the world. This work is locally and nationally crucial in the U.S. where there are over 300 languages spoken, and that, at least, 20% of the U.S. population speaks a language other than English.  

The Department of Modern Languages (MLL) offers courses in the prominent modern languages of the world, including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. As a MLL major, you will expand your proficiency in another language other than English and prepare yourself for a life and career in a progressively global world.

In addition to its own programs, the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures participates in the International Studies program and the minor programs in Asian Studies, Communication Media Studies, Educational Studies, Health Studies, Italian Studies, Judaic Studies, Latinx, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Russian, East European, and Central Asian Studies, Peace and Justice Studies, Visual and Performing Arts, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Additionally, many of our courses fulfill Magis Core Signature Elements. Select language courses may count toward those programs.

A limited number of courses taught in English may count toward specific majors and minors. Courses offered by other departments may count as well. Please consult individual directors of the French, German, Italian, and Spanish sections for a list of relevant courses from outside the department not already listed in this section of the Catalog.

Modern Languages and Literatures courses requiring a prerequisite may allow students with suitable life or academic experience from other institutions to be admitted by permission of the instructor. Students who believe they have appropriate background experience may petition the professor for admission to desired courses.
