Students planning to transfer to complete a baccalaureate degree at another institution may complete required foreign language hours before moving. Students wishing to major in foreign languages for future careers have the opportunity to prepare for advanced study.
Individual attention is given by professors who adapt their methods for various learning styles.
Smaller classes also encourage the student to achieve. Free tutoring by native speakers and advanced students is available, and use of computer labs for Internet communications is encouraged. Many adults have the desire to either begin to learn a foreign language or to re-learn a language known previously. Busy adults with families and careers, as well as students in certain majors, often cannot attend the regularly scheduled classes because of time constraints. Therefore, when there is sufficient interest, the Department of Foreign Languages offers classes meeting once a week for two hours of credit.
