Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures
The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures is committed to leading students to intercultural competence by developing a deep understanding and appreciation for language, culture, and literature.

The Department offers instruction in six languages: Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.
