Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures

As an integral part of a liberal arts college, the faculty of the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures develops students' understanding of the foreign culture and civilization through training in listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing in the target language. In so doing, the department fosters and maintains the academic tradition that recognizes the value of transmitting knowledge in languages other than English.
