Katherine Ford, Chair
Students who complete a degree program in foreign languages and literatures can read, write, speak, and listen effectively in another language. They study the literature, linguistics, culture, and civilization of the countries where those languages are spoken, combining cultural competence with the communicative skills necessary for the workplace or advanced study. Foreign languages and literatures students are encouraged to study abroad to learn more about the languages and cultures in their field. Foreign language and literatures majors pursue careers in healthcare, business, communications, law and education, to name a few, and they become more marketable, and get hired faster at a higher salary.
The Department offers a bachelor of arts in foreign languages and literatures with seven concentration areas: French, French education, German, German education, Hispanic studies, Hispanic studies education, and global studies. There are also minors in French , German , and Hispanic studies .
