Introduction
Learning another language changes your life. It gives you an international and global perspective on social, cultural, and political issues. It gives you an opportunity to travel to another country and study art, music, and history. You become bilingual and bicultural. You get “hands-on” experiences with cross-cultural communication. You learn to appreciate your knowledge of English even more than you do now.
The goal of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures is to encourage multiculturalism and multilingualism in the Central Valley. That includes preparing students for communication in some of the important heritage languages of the area: Spanish. It's also the language of Mexico, Central and South America, and the European Union, so students are able to travel or work overseas with greater ease.
