			The Department of Modern Languages offers two programs for majors: the Bachelor of Arts in French and the Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. It also offers a program for minors in French, Italian and Spanish. Courses in German, beginning and intermediate, complete the department's offerings. At the elementary and intermediate levels, the program of modern languages aims to develop in the language studied the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Class discussion and the language laboratory supplement a thorough foundation in language structure. Cultural aspects of the various countries are presented in order to foster the student's appreciation of cultural diversity and interest in international affairs. The aim of the advanced courses is twofold: to broaden and deepen the student's knowledge of the literature, culture and history of the country or countries studied; to foster an aesthetic appreciation of representative works. Students planning to major or minor in a language are encouraged to study abroad under any plan approved by the department. They should see their major advisor about which courses taken abroad will satisfy major or minor requirements.
