MLL faculty members are energetic and devoted. They spend much time with students in a "small college" atmosphere. The department maintains an active research agenda, and we believe that research informs teaching, and that teaching informs research. As a result, we encourage Student Research, culminating in our yearly Student Research Seminar. MLL offers undergraduate majors in French, German, Japanese and Spanish language and literature, Latin American language and civilization, German Studies, two modern languages, and a major combining language and business. There is also a concentration in French Studies. We also offer minors in the languages listed above plus Chinese. There are two-year programs in Italian and Arabic. Students may prepare for teaching careers in our five-year secondary teaching and certification program (STEP). Students can also obtain translation certificates and participate in programs that prepare them for future involvement in a global context. Many of our students study abroad in programs operated by or affiliated with Oakland University. The Language Center houses an interactive video, audio, and a computer setup including satellite programming. The Department has a number of exchange programs with partner universities in other countries. The overseas program descriptions can be viewed at www2.oakland.edu/ie. Ron Rapin
