The Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Cultures offers degree programs in French, Spanish and Classical Studies. The major programs in German, Japanese and Russian are currently suspended. These programs are designed to train students not only in the target language but also in the culture of those countries where the language is or was spoken. The department also participates in an interdisciplinary minor program in Latin American Studies.
The major degree programs in French, German, Spanish and Russian require an absolute minimum of 31 hours in the major language, of which at least 25 hours must be at the 300-400 level. Students who begin with the first-semester course (A100) will thus need to take 37 total hours of course work in the major. These figures include a 1-hour capstone course taken in the senior year. Majors must also complete at least one course at the 200 level in an adjunct language. (The adjunct-language requirement is waived for students with a double major.) Students are encouraged to complement their language studies with other courses in history and culture of the countries where the language is spoken, as well as with courses in world literature, linguistics, international economics and political relations, and language teaching methodology. Students are also encouraged to study abroad.
The major degree in Classical Studies requires 36 credit hours, again including a 1-hour capstone course in the senior year. At least 18 of these hours must be in either Latin or Greek, and the remaining 25 hours may be additional courses in Latin or Greek, courses in the classical humanities, and/or designated courses from related fields such as history, philosophy and religious studies.
A minor in French, German, Spanish or Russian requires at least 21 credit hours, of which at least 12 credit hours must be at the 300-400 level in the major language. Students who begin with the first-semester course (A100) will thus need to take a total of 24 hours in the language, while all other students will need to take a total of 21 hours. Students who have already completed 12 hours at the 300-400 level may also take their remaining courses in the history and culture of the countries where the language is spoken, or in linguistics.
The minor in Classical Studies requires a total of 24 hours. At least 12 of those hours must be in Latin or Greek, with the remaining courses selected by the student and the advisor.
