Languages

In today’s multilingual world, people and images are travelling faster than ever before across national boundaries and cultures. Having a second language can create career opportunities for students that might otherwise not be available.
The Faculty offers four levels of each language on campus. Students wanting to advance to a higher language level will have the opportunity to take an exchange or semester abroad and immerse themselves in a country that speaks the language being studied. Cultural studies majors in the four language areas are also available.

The following languages are offered:

• Chinese (Mandarin)
• English as an International Language (ENIL)
• French
• Japanese
• Spanish
