Venue description

This department has sixty full-time and one part-time faculty, a Director for the Media Center, and an office staff of four. In addition, it has about twenty adjunct faculty who teach one or more courses per semester and twenty-five graduate teaching assistants. The Spanish faculty is the largest, followed by French, German, Italian, and Asian Languages (Chinese and Japanese); the faculties in Russian and Classics are comparable in size; and also has faculty members who teach Hebrew and Arabic on a regular basis, as well as Portuguese when demand is sufficient to warrant a course. By providing opportunities both on campus and abroad for the study of foreign languages and literatures, and the civilizations and cultures where those languages are or once were spoken, the Department defines and fulfills its basic mission.
