Translating Success
June 27, 2011

Many foreign language departments at four-year institutions have been
threatened or eliminated in the past few years as administrators look to
trim academic budgets. And language offerings are limited at many community
colleges, which may offer Spanish and not much else.

During these trying times, however, foreign language offerings have
multiplied at Bergen Community College, a two-year institution in New Jersey
that does not even require its students to take a foreign language to earn
an associate degree. What's Bergen's secret? Professors say it's learning
what interests students and speaking to them with one voice about the skills
they will need in an increasingly global society."
