Undergraduate Degrees

1500 undergraduate majors and minors are currently enrolled in our small interactive classes, becoming bilingual readers, writers and researchers with expanded world views.  Students in Romance Languages gain the necessary knowledge and sensitivity for effective communication while gaining fluency in French, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish through real world experience. Because our programs are designed to build understanding of human language and deepen connections among people, students learn the structures of language while becoming skilled at bridging multiple perspectives and cultural values.

lntercultural competence is the ability to function effectively across cultures, to think and act appropriately, and to communicate and work with people from different cultural backgrounds.
