Modern Languages French/German/Spanish - Furman University

Modern Languages French/German/Spanish from Furman University is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. At Furman, the programs of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures explore the past and present and anticipate the future. The department seeks to ground students in the historical and cultural bases of different languages ? French, German, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese ? as a way of understanding and respecting both cultural heritage and cultural differences. In this way the department prepares students for citizenship in the global community of the 21st century and equips them with the language proficiency, life experience, knowledge base and critical insight necessary for an international career or for further study. The strength of Furman's program in languages is its dynamic faculty, which includes native speakers from Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, China and Japan. All faculty members have lived, worked or studied abroad and attained a high degree of fluency in the languages they teach. In addition to their graduate training, faculty members bring to Furman a variety of experiences from such areas as law, the Peace Corps, business (in the United States and abroad), music and secondary education. All faculty are active scholars who frequently collaborate with students on research projects, and students regularly work with faculty as teaching assistants and in course development. To insure the success of language students, Furman believes they must immerse themselves in the language they study. Therefore, all classes at all levels are taught in the target language. But immersion in a language at Furman goes far beyond the classroom. Opportunities include: View more details on Furman University .
