Knowledge of Modern Languages is now an essential part of any well-rounded academic program. The United States is becoming more multi-cultural and international with each passing decade. Our society requires more bilingual people in the fields of medicine, law, sociology, education and almost any other field of endeavor. The study of a foreign language not only provides the means to obtain gainful employment, but also equips the Twenty-first Century person with a life-long ability to incorporate literary, artistic and cultural viewpoints of various peoples of our planet. The Modern Language Department at FHSU extends a congenial invitation to study with us!
