Our Mission
Our programs provide training in the fundamental skills of understanding, speaking, reading and writing the language, and increases ones familiarity with the English language. From a vocational standpoint, the curriculum will provide a student with skills useful in translating, interpreting, teaching, linguistic or literary research, music, foreign trade, or missionary work. The major requires 36 units. Of these, 26 units must be in the same language, unless the student has completed two years of a language in high school (with a "C" average or better) and takes 10 units of an intermediate course at the college. In this case, the department will determine the courses necessary to complete the requirements.
