Languages and Linguistics

A variety of language courses are available to the University and community at large to provide language training for specific purposes, such as language for travel or language for special purposes (legal, medical, business). Coursework in other languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese and Latin also is offered.

Although courses in language and linguistics are offered, no major or minor is available.
