Our small faculty/student ratio (1:14) helps to establish good one-on-one interactions. Informal class discussions and participation allow students to gain confidence and develop skills needed in the working world. What classes will I take?

These courses are for 4 credit hours, which includes one hour of an immersion conversation lab. For Spring 2010, we will offer Elementary Chinese II, Elementary Arabic II and Elementary Greek II, also for 4 credit hours. For information or to enroll please contact Dr. Judith Richards, jrichards@park.edu.

Advisors seeking to enroll students in Arabic 1 or Greek 1, please note the following: both languages are listed under ML100, so it is necessary to click there and select either A (Arabic) or B (Greek). Neither language is named so it's important to know the difference between And B.
