World Language Department

  • The ability to understand and communicate with people of other countries is a valuable asset. Advancing technology and the need to communicate with others has placed economic and social importance upon foreign languages. There are colleges that require foreign language credits as part of their admission criteria and many corporations routinely hire employees who have knowledge of a second language.
