The Department of Modern and Classical Languages offers minors in Spanish, French, and German. A minor in a foreign language is an excellent complement to a degree program, and gives the student that extra edge when seeking employment. Second language proficiency can greatly enhance the student’s ability to communicate with clients and customers in any field, and increases the potential for employment and promotional opportunities in the workplace.
