About the Department

Monmouth University students have the opportunity to pursue Major programs of study in Spanish, Spanish and Education, and Spanish and Communication. Minor programs of study in Spanish and Italian are also offered. Of particular relevance is our highly demanded minor in Spanish for Business. Courses in Arabic, American Sign Language (ASL), Chinese, French, German, and Latin are also currently offered.

Linguistic proficiency in a second language is in high demand by employers in many fields, and our graduates leave Monmouth University with language skills and cultural knowledge that make them stand out. In our courses, students practice communication, applying what they learn as they speak, listen, read and write in the language. Culture, literature, film, pronunciation, art, politics, health, media studies, and business are just some of the topics explored in our classes.

Language study at Monmouth University is easy to combine with many major and minor courses of study, and will prove very useful for almost ever job and profession.
