Welcome to the Department of Foreign Languages

The mission of the Department of Foreign Languages is to enable the student to understand, speak, read, and write a language other than his/her own; to lead the student to some familiarity with the literature written in the language; to foster appreciation of the history and culture of the country whose language is being studied; and to promote understanding of these cultures today in our community and nation.

To develop these life skills, the department makes use of a satellite dish receiving several French-, German-, and Spanish-language channels, and continually updates its computing resources. The university library includes a respectable collection of literary, linguistic, and cultural texts to support the language programs. The language lab has a conversation lounge with a library of periodicals and language aids. The department continues to build video cassette, DVD, and software libraries.
