The Department of Languages is dedicated to the study of nine languages and their respective literatures and cultures, with courses ranging from introductory language skills to upper-level courses on specific topics. Our courses focus on the many different facets of literary, cultural, and linguistic expression found in the spoken and written languages featured in our department. Nearly 50 faculty members guide the undergraduate students who have chosen to study foreign languages in understanding the issues involved in approaching another culture through the language of that culture. All students experience this alternative world first-hand. The members of the Department of Languages invite you to explore our varied offerings and take advantage of the rich resources at your disposal.
Within these pages you will find information on how to contact specific professors, the various programs offered through our department, language club events, placement examinations, as well as many other resources that may be of interest to you. Our chair, Dr. Barbara Zaczek, and the entire faculty invite you to take advantage of these resources and to visit our department offices if you have questions regarding any of our offerings or resources. We are located on the seventh floor of Strode Tower, and our main office is open from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday-Friday. For more information, please call (864)-656-3393.
