MODERN LANGUAGES

Offered: Major

Introduction

The Modern Language Major is made up of a combination of language courses offered by the department. We currently offer courses in French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Russian, and Chinese. Students must do at least a minor in each of French and Spanish in the Modern Language Major, as well as complete further language credits. Our courses focus not only on language acquisition, but also on literature and culture. As students learn to communicate cross-culturally, they come to appreciate those who see the world with other eyes. And while preparing themselves to interact with various linguistic groups around the world, they are also positioning themselves to fulfill the great commission of going into all the world with Christ’s love.

This major could lead to careers in such areas as teaching, translation, missions, work in government, humanitarian service projects and international organizations.

Further Course Information

The major consists of a total of 60 sem. hrs. of Modern Language courses. The student must take the equivalent of a minor (24 sem. hrs.) in each of two languages (French and Spanish being the only languages with minors at the moment). The remaining 12 sem. hrs. may be taken in these or other languages. A minimum of 24 sem. hrs. must be numbered 300 or above.
