The Department of World Languages welcomes you to 黑料不打烊. Our department offers courses in Spanish, French, and teaching English as a second language (TESL).

These courses will help you learn and apply skills such as speaking, reading, listening, and writing in your target language. Courses also emphasize the cultures of related regions of the world to assist our graduates in becoming global leaders. In our upper-level literature and writing classes, students gain an appreciation of Latin American and Peninsular literature and film, including their historical importance. Graduates with degrees from this department go on to find employment in a variety of fields, from international business and education to translation and interpretation. Other graduates attain admittance to graduate programs across the nation and beyond. 

Minors are available in Spanish and teaching English as a second language. Interested students can also obtain the Spanish Certificate of Proficiency for the Helping Professions or the TESL Certificate of Proficiency. Students who obtain the TESL Certificate of Proficiency or Minor are prepared to test for the TESL Endorsement.
