Programs, Courses, and Requirements

The Department offers a B.A. in French and Spanish and minors in French and Spanish.  For students interested in teaching in bilingual classrooms (Spanish/English), the Department offers an Interdisciplinary Major in Bilingual and Multicultural Studies.  The Department also offers courses in ASL and Japanese. Our mission is to provide you with a well-rounded liberal arts background that exposes you to the major disciplines and also ensures that you gain competency in the target language and familiarity with the literature, history and culture of the civilization in question.
