Programs - Department of Modern Languages
|
The Department of Modern Languages provides proficiency-oriented instruction in second languages, literatures, civilizations and cultures. The department offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in French Studies, German and Spanish. It also offers minors in French, German, and Spanish. Students seeking to fulfill requirements (ie - Humanities, Cultural Diversity, Human Spirit) may do so using any of our language classes: Arabic, French, German, Lakota or Spanish. Students seeking to fulfill the 14-hour Bachelor of Arts requirement in modern languages (101, 102, 201, 202) may do so in any one of four languages: French, German, Lakota, or Spanish.
Students entering the university with a background in modern languages are strongly encouraged to request a copy of the department's placement policy. Students who are prepared to take courses beyond 101 (up to 310 or 311) may apply to receive credit for all previous courses. Even if the student's career goals do not center on a modern language, a strong background in a language may make a second major or a minor feasible.
The faculty of the Department of Modern Languages works with students to determine the program of study which will best prepare them for the career they have chosen. The department encourages students to investigate programs in other academic areas which will complete or enhance their preparation for a specific career. Such programs include, but are not limited to: Economics, European Studies, Native American Studies and Latin American Area Studies. Students (majors in particular) are also highly encouraged to participate in a study abroad program.
