Opportunities for traveling or working abroad are increasing annually.
Expanding world trade will create more and more demands for bilingual
people, and America's role in international affairs requires more than ever
before that we understand the cultures of all world peoples. Consequently,
the study of world languages can no longer be a luxury; it has become a
necessity.
Students are placed in world languages classes by the world languages
instructors who evaluate their previous language experience. Students
wishing to take placement and credit examinations may arrange to do so
with the world languages faculty or testing center.
World languages satisfy a requirement for the bachelor of arts degree
and the fine arts/humanistic studies requirement for the bachelor of science
degree in many programs.
Credit may not ordinarily be earned in one's native language (mother
tongue) in first year courses.
Associate of Arts Degree
World Languages
Excellent career opportunities await the student who combines world
language studies with business, technology, science, vocational programs,
etc. For specific information, consult the world language faculty.
