The Department of Romance Languages offers a variety of programs in language, literature, and culture in three areas: French, Spanish, and Italian. Students can obtain a BA in French or Spanish. The Department of German, Russian, and Japanese Studies offers a BA degree in German and Russian and courses in Japanese. Expanding general knowledge of the culture and developing a cultural awareness and sensitivity is an important part of a foreign language major. Proficiency in more than one language is becoming a valuable tool that enhances a student's occupational possibilities. K-12 Special Subject-Area Licensure is also possible and that is further described in the UNCG undergraduate bulletin under Teacher Education Licensure Programs. To all ends a variety of study abroad opportunities are also available. For more information on a foreign language major contact the following people: Roberto Campo in 2322 MHRA(French), Wendy Jones-Worden in 2318 MHRA(Spanish, Romance Languages), Andreas Lixl in 1129 MHRA(German & Russian), and Tom Martinek, Jr. (Study Abroad) at 103 Foust.
