The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers courses leading to
the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Science in Education degree
with majors in French and Spanish. Minors in these languages are also available.
The department strongly supports the recommendation made in the report A Nation
At Risk that high school students in a college-track program study a foreign
language for two years at the high school level. First and second year language
courses offered by the department can be used by non-majors to fulfill the general
education requirements in the languages and cultures or electives areas.
Study Abroad
The department strongly recommends that all Modern Languages and Literatures
majors and minors participate in an accredited study abroad program. The department
sponsors summer study abroad programs in Costa Rica, France and Spain. Information
about those programs or about opportunities in other languages and countries
can be obtained by contacting the department.
Retro-Credits Program
A departmental retro-credits program allows students with significant prior
experience studying French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish or Russian to
benefit in several ways. It is designed to reward deserving students who have
already spent years studying languages in high school and to encourage those
students to seek university-level courses in order to complete a minor or major.
Students desiring credit for language proficiency acquired before coming to
Pittsburg State University should consult any member of the Department of Modern
Languages and Literatures.
Native Speakers
Native speakers are encouraged to take courses in French or Spanish. Students
who graduated from high school in a French- or Spanish-speaking country may
fulfill coursework for a major in French or Spanish by completing 15 hours of
upper-division courses in literature and civilization. Native speakers of any
language taught in the department are not allowed to enroll in lower-division
courses in that language. Consult with the chairperson of the department.
Graduate Studies
Although the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers no master's
degree, the department does offer, in cooperation with the College of Education,
a 15-hour foreign language emphasis for the candidate for a Master of Science
degree with a major in secondary teaching granted by the Department of Curriculum
and Instruction. Students involved in this program should be jointly advised
by the Department of Curriculum and Instruction and the Department of Modern
Languages and Literatures. The Department also cooperates with the Department
of Special Services and Leadership Studies to offer a Spanish or French emphasis
through the Education Specialist degree program. The degree is granted by the
Special Services and Leadership Studies Department.
