Global Languages and Cultures

One of our programs is just right for you.

We offer majors in French, German, and Spanish, as well as instruction in Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Latin and Russian. A major in Italian can be arranged. Our courses fall into one of three categories:

  • Language skill courses to develop proficiency/functional ability in reading, writing, listening, speaking and cultural awareness
  • Linguistics and language instruction courses provide a foundation for comprehending the complexity of language acquisition and methodological approaches
  • Literature and culture courses expand the understanding and appreciation of the "other" through literary texts, films, art, history, traditions, and study abroad programs.

The University offers a teaching licensure option in French, German and Spanish. Students must satisfy all of the requirements in the department, as well as the requirements designated by the School of Education and Health Sciences for teacher licensure by the State of Ohio.
