The Department of Foreign Languages and Journalism offers two degree programs:

1. Bachelor of Arts with a major in Communications.
The department houses two of the emphases of this major (which is shared with the Department of Communication): Journalism and Public Relations. Journalism is the academic study concerned with the gathering, writing, editing, and publishing or disseminating of news, as through newspapers and magazines or by radio and television. The department provides courses in journalism that serve the needs of both the general student and students specializing in the field. Students who concentrate in journalism can design their program to prepare for graduate studies, for a career in print or broadcast journalism, or for a career in education. Public Relations is the academic study concerned with the methods and activities employed to promote a favorable relationship between the public and business, industry, government, and education. Emphasis is placed on fact-finding, researching audiences, setting objectives, and charting program.

2. Bachelor of Arts with a major in Romance Languages.
This degree has two areas of study: French and Spanish. Students choose one as their area of primary study but still take courses in the other, as well as in Latin and linguistics. French and Spanish share a common source: their development can be traced back to Latin. The other modern descendants of Latin are Catalan, Dalmatian, Franco-Proven'al, Italian, Occitan, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romance, Romanian, and Sardinian. Romance languages are spoken by many millions of people around the world. The department provides courses in several Romance languages that serve the needs of both the general student and those specializing in the field. Students who concentrate in Romance languages can design their programs to be the focus of a broad and liberal education, to prepare for graduate studies in a particular Romance language, and to become certified K-12 teachers in French and/or Spanish.

The department also offers courses to satisfy the requirements for minors in foreign languages (a combination of courses), French, German, Journalism, Language Arts (a combination of courses), Latin, Public Relations, and Spanish. In addition, instruction is offered in Albanian, Arabic, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English as a Second Language, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish and translation-interpretation.
