Spanish Minor
Providing students the ability to communicate in Spanish and understand the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world is growing in importance for a variety of professions.
Spanish MinorChinese
Chinese is the most widely spoken language on Earth. Studying Mandarin opens doors to one of the world’s most ancient civilizations and today’s most vibrant growing economies, offering tools for students with interests in business, society, politics, and culture to engage with the over one-fifth of the world’s population that speaks Chinese.
French
Study of French enriches students by providing an opportunity to understand a major European civilization. Because literature, art, and music are used in teaching French, students will not only learn a language but also gain an appreciation for the culture of France. Since one-third of English vocabulary words are derived from French, students will also improve their English vocabulary.
Italian
Italian Cinema explores themes in Italian culture through the medium of film. This course will examine the artistic, historical, and cultural themes of Italian cinema from neo-realism to the present. It focuses on film as a vehicle of communication through which themes in Italian culture are explored.
