Languages and Culture Studies

Within the Languages and Culture Studies program you can pursue a B.A. degree in French, Classics, Spanish, World Languages, or K-12 Teacher Certification in French or Spanish. Minors in French, Greek, Latin, and Spanish are also available.

By providing insights into the linguistic, cultural, and intellectual lives of other peoples, language study and the investigation of foreign literatures and cultures foster in the student a broader, more informed perspective on the world.

About the Program

Students pursuing a major or a minor in Languages and Culture Studies will study linguistic structures, develop audio-lingual and writing ability, become familiar with literary texts, develop analytical abilities, and gain an appreciation of cultures and traditions different from their own.

The program is open to any student with an interest in language, literature, or linguistics.

Careers

Students majoring in specific languages are able to combine their studies with Education for public school teaching certification. In 1996, the State of New Jersey incorporated a World Language Education Program in its Core Curriculum Content Standards and Frameworks for K- 12 students. The need for professionally trained teachers of foreign languages is critical and will increase in the future.

A major in Spanish also prepares students for graduate school. Combined with other majors, study in modern languages, at least at the level of the minor, can increase employment potential in many fields, especially within the greater metropolitan areas of the United States and in fields that involve working in different countries or branches of business. 

Special Opportunities

During their junior or senior year, students are encouraged to pursue study abroad and internship opportunities, such as the Washington Internship program. Further information can be found on the University’s Office of Global Engagement website.

Facilities

Our language lounge is open to all students taking language classes. The lounge provides you with a quiet space for study, tutoring, and small group work.

Haitian Poem Translation

In the fall of 2022, Associate Professor Kory Olson’s Advanced French students partnered with Montclair State University’s Digital Commons to translate 19th-century Haitian poems.

According to the Commons, the collection sought to highlight the many literary luminaries whose works about freedom were obscured during their revolution for independence. In translating these poems, the Commons hopes to make them more accessible to modern audiences.

Below are the poems that his students in LANG 3230 translated, which are now live on Montclair’s Digital Commons website.
