The foreign language section of the department offers courses in French, German, Spanish, Cherokee, Greek, Latin and Russian taught by a dedicated faculty. Students can get a B.A. with a major in Spanish or Spanish Education.

The first elementary course is taught as if each student has had no previous study in that language. The teachers understand the anxiety many students have in a foreign language class and do their best to create an atmosphere that is enjoyable and not intimidating. In addition, the professors are ready and willing to help any student who is having difficulty in the course. All full-time teachers keep 8 regular office hours and will also see students by appointment, or if they just drop in and the teacher is free. Office hours are posted outside the office of the teacher.
