Programs:
We offer undergraduate majors in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese,
Russian, and Spanish; minor programs in the above languages and in Italian,
Persian, Turkish, and Classical Studies. We also have a Certificate in
Advanced Proficiency in Russian and a Certificate in Teaching Japanese as a
Foreign Language.

At the graduate level, we offer the M.A. in World Languages and Literatures
