Our substantive programs prepare students for research, translation, linguistics, literary studies, teaching, and business.

The Department of Modern Languages (MODL) offers courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

The Department of Modern Languages offers a Bachelor of Arts in French or Spanish, and as of fall 2012 has added a Bachelor of Arts in Critical Languages and International Studies in Chinese, German, or Russian.

On the graduate level, students can earn a Master's in Modern Languages with concentration in French or Spanish.
