About Us


Dr. Lana Rings representing the Department of Modern Languages at UTA Preview Day, October 2010The Department of Modern Languages (MODL) offers courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

Students can earn a Bachelor's in French or Spanish as well as certificates in translation. On the graduate level, students can earn a Master's in Modern Languages with concentration in French or Spanish.

Learning other languages has always formed a critical part of a well-rounded education. In today's global economy, the ability to communicate in languages other than one's own has become an increasingly valuable asset sought after by employers across the public and private sectors. Our substantive programs prepare students for research, translation, literary studies, teaching, and business.
