World Languages
In a world becoming increasingly global and international, the ability to speak a
world language or languages is a growing commodity. Advanced study in a
world language generally extends beyond vocabulary and grammar to include the study of the history, literature and culture of a particular country or countries where that language is spoken.
Many career avenues may be open to individuals who are bilingual or multi-lingual.
Many corporations and industries conduct business in foreign countries. Other career opportunities, such as educator, translator, correspondent, and diplomat, may be enhanced by knowledge of world languages and cultures.
Students interested in pursuing higher education in world languages should consider taking the following courses as electives while at STCC:
