Foreign Languages Department
FACULTY: Janusz Czejdo, Amanda M. Frantz-Mamani, Leo Gruber
The department offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in German,
Spanish, and the Humanities/Foreign Languages, a degree in which proficiency is
sought in two languages. Teacher certification may be pursued in conjunction
with the B.A. degree in German and Spanish by satisfying the requirements of the
School of Education. Certification in two areas may enhance employment oppor-
tunities. (For further information, refer to Teacher Education section.) Programs
are also offered in Foreign Language and Area Studies. (Please refer to the
History Department section for further information about this specialization.)
Placement: Students enrolled in Foreign Language courses will be placed by the
department according to their background and proficiency in the foreign lan-
guage.
CD-ROM LABORATORY
The Department of Foreign Languages maintains a CD-ROM laboratory in room
232 of the Baron-Forness Library. CD-ROM programs are available in French,
German, Russian and Spanish. Language students are encouraged to utilize these
programs for tutorial and/or advanced work.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A MAJOR IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGES
There are many career opportunities for a person with a major in foreign lan-
guage. Although some career areas utilize foreign language skills as a supplement
to other areas of knowledge and training, many jobs focus solely on language pro-
ficiency with a liberal arts background. Your knowledge of a foreign language and
the culture of its people could be the single factor that distinguishes you from
other applicants and thus makes you the best person for the job.
Currently, there are career opportunities for foreign language majors in the fol-
lowing types of firms: advertising agencies; airlines; banks; city, county, state
government; federal government; Agency for International Development; Central
Intelligence Agency; Department of Defense; Department of State; Federal
Bureau of Investigation; Immigration and Naturalization Service; Peace Corps;
United States Information Agency; film industry; hotels, insurance companies;
international service organizations; language institutes; libraries; publishing com-
panies; research and educational institutes; retailers; social service agencies;
United Nations; and universities and colleges.
