• Proficiency in more than one language is a valuable asset in today's global society. In learning another language students expand their understanding of other people and their culture. It broadens their horizons and opens new fields of interest. In the department we hope to give them not only the basics of Spanish and French, but an appreciation of the beauty of the cultures that accompanies them.
