Departmental Mission Statement — Romance Languages: Romance Languages programs develop students’ understanding of and an appreciation for the world through the study of foreign languages and literatures, linguistics and cultural phenomena. Students gain skills that allow them to communicate with native speakers; they learn critical and theoretical approaches to texts and build cross-cultural perspectives from which to evaluate global issues.

Departmental Mission Statement — Classical Languages: Classical Languages program develops students’ understanding of and an appreciation for the world and engages them in study of cultures and languages some two or three millennia earlier than their own. Students enter the earlier cultures with sensitivity and sympathy and interact with them. Students gain skills in critical reading, artistic and artful language, the development and analysis of argumentation, and the evaluation of unstated assumptions.
