Department of Classical and Modern
Languages and Literatures
Studying a foreign language is a way to prepare yourself professionally, to expand your literary
and cultural horizons, and to equip yourself for a constantly changing global market. Study of a
foreign language at the undergraduate level is excellent preparation for further graduate study
in the humanities, in business, and in law; it adds highly desirable competence for those planning
to enter teaching; it is an asset to those seeking careers in foreign affairs, international trade
and banking, medecine, health care, and public service.
