Knox College has, as many other schools also do, a modern languages department. However, unlike other larger schools that have individual departments for each language, Knox has one department that encompasses each of the tiny individual foreign language departments. The [[German department]], for example, is comprised of one [[Professor Emeritus]], one full time [[faculty]] member, and one [[teaching intern]]. The [[Spanish department]] seems to have more professors, but it also probably has more majors, so I guess that makes sense. Knox also has a [[French department]].

Modern Languages is a course of study offered through the Modern Languages and Literatures Department. It includes the Modern Languages and Modern Languages and Classics majors. The department is located on the second floor of GDH.

Overview[edit]

Modern Languages majors allow students to take courses in more than one language as part of a single major. They therefore require a large number of credits. The languages available are French, German, and Spanish. With the classics tie-in one may also take courses in Latin or Greek. Beginning in Fall 2007, Japanese and Chinese coursework is available through the Asian Studies Program instead of the Modern Languages and Literatures Department.
