Whatever your career plans, you'll be prepared. As technology has brought the world closer together, international communication has become an increasingly vital necessity. Many non-majors choose to continue their studies of modern foreign languages and choose electives from the department's diverse curriculum. Other students, however, elect to major in a foreign language. The department offers majors in French, German and Spanish and is one of the few colleges in South Carolina which offers courses in Portuguese.
Majors have a variety of career options in which language skills have proven invaluable.
Recent graduates have enjoyed success in fields such as international banking, law, business and journalism. Other graduates have gone on to teach at the high school and college levels. PC offers students the opportunity to learn from four fellowship students native to countries where these languages are spoken. These student-teachers live on campus and assist students with their conversational skills. Students are not limited to these programs, however.
