It is the philosophy of the Modern Languages and Cultures Department to prepare students not only to be professionals in their field but also to become intellectually well-rounded individuals with a deep appreciation for other peoples’ cultures in order to live and participate in the global village of today's world.  The department also operates under the philosophy that well-educated individuals are those who are knowledgeable in their particular specialty as well as in the humanities, the social and natural sciences.  Moreover, they should possess the communication skills and cross cultural expertise to deal positively and accurately in all diplomatic, cultural, social and business related interchanges.  Modern Language and Culture study will enhance their skills in critical thinking and intellectual inquiry so as to ensure the development of skilled professionals for the global community.
