Welcome to the Department of Modern Foreign Languages!

Students in the department of Modern Foreign Languages immerse themselves in new cultures, ideas and languages. They study at home and abroad, preparing for new adventures upon graduation. Wherever their flight plans take them. Cardinals test their wings here. The sky is the limit for their bright futures.

As a Cardinal at SVSU, the Department of Modern Foreign Languages will give each student the skills to be an educator or a foreign correspondent. Or, students will learn how to bring their business skills to boardrooms beyond this continent. Whatever their aspirations, SVSU’s Department of Modern Foreign Languages can help each person achieve them. Approved by both the Michigan Department of Education and adhering to guidelines of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, SVSU’s programs promise to equip students with the communication skills required for language proficiency.
