Gordon College

Program Overview

Language lies at the heart of every culture---to learn a foreign language is to enter into a new world. In the combined languages minor, you will work to achieve proficiency in two languages, thereby encountering two cultures at a deep level. You will also learn how languages are structured and meaning is communicated. Though mastering a foreign language requires commitment and effort, the rewards are of lifelong value.Gordon's Languages and Linguistics Department offers advanced-level instruction in Spanish and French. You may also have the opportunity to pursue upper-level coursework in Chinese (Mandarin), Greek, Latin and Hebrew overseas or through independent study. We see global exposure as a crucial component of your education, and are committed to making your required two semesters abroad possible---so your financial aid package will apply to any Gordon-approved programs.
