The Value of Language

Your decision to pursue the study of a world language may prove one of the most rewarding choices of your academic career. The potential personal, professional, economic, and social benefits of learning a foreign language are considerable.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide world language courses that assist in developing communicative skills and awareness of other cultures and that provide students with a basis in a world language that will prepare them for a successful transfer into a baccalaureate degree granting institution.

We believe that all students should have a continuing opportunity to enhance their understanding of world languages and cultures. This belief requires student-centered instructional strategies and high academic standards.

Languages Offered

We offer courses of study in the following languages:

• Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Russian, Spanish.
