Foreign Languages and Linguistics

The Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics was formed in 1996 by the merger of the former Departments of Classics and Hebrew Studies, German, Linguistics, and Slavic Languages. The curricula of these departments continue in the combined department. The department teaches modern and ancient languages, their literature, and the linguistic and philological study of these languages. The program in Linguistics also is located in this department and offers courses in Chinese and Japanese, and, from time to time, courses in several uncommonly-taught languages. The broad departmental structure encourages the development of cross-disciplinary academic undertakings.
