The Modern Language department's goal at MSSU is to develop the world language proficiency and cultural competency of students  through quality teaching.

By delivering instruction in world languages, our department helps students gain insight into their own culture/language and enhance their vision of the world.

Students in our program will gain communication and critical-thinking skills in world languages to become life-long learners, continually viewing and interacting with the world both at home and abroad.
