Modern (Foreign) Language (A.A.)

The language curriculum emphasizes cultural awareness along with written and oral communication skills. Learning another language helps students develop cultural competency, critical thinking skills, and allows them to see the world from a different perspective. Whether you seek a career in health services, business, education, law, new media, politics, or economics, knowledge of a different language and culture will make you stand out in the job market. Students interested in the study of a different language and culture are encouraged to participate in a Study Abroad program.

MGA offers an Associate's degree in Modern Language (French or Spanish track), a Minor in Spanish, and an IDS concentration in Spanish.
