Welcome to the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures

We offer B.A. degrees in Spanish, Spanish for Teacher Licensure, French, French for Teacher Licensure, and German Studies. On the graduate level we offer a Certificate Program in Spanish, a Master of Arts in Spanish, and recently added a 3+2 Bachelor/ Masters combination. Additionally students can minor in Spanish, French, German, and Russian Studies.

These degree programs are the core of our mission, and yet we contribute a wide array of courses for students to fulfill the University Studies Requirements in the following components:
Foreign Language, Aesthetic, Interpretive & Literary, Living in a Global Society, Living in our Diverse Nation, Writing Intensive, Explorations Beyond the Classroom, Transdisciplinary Clusters, and Capstone Courses. Students can fulfill their foreign language requirement in our department with courses in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian. Recently, in cooperation with NCSU, we have offered Hindi-Urdu and Ancient Greek.

Many of our language programs have active student language clubs, and our faculty members develop and accompany students abroad in Chile, France, Germany, and Spain. We are proud that we successfully meet UNCW’s goal of preparing students to become global citizens.
