The mission of the Department of Foreign Languages and Philosophy is to provide a liberal education for all university students. Faculty strive to create an atmosphere of learning, free inquiry, critical thinking, creativity, and clear and honest communication in all contact with students. In addition to offering general education courses in humanities, writing, foreign languages, literature, and philosophy, the department seeks to prepare its majors for the world at large by increasing the depth of the liberal education they have gained in their general education courses.
Goals are achieved by providing students with the following experiences:
- Affirm integrity, the search for truth, and respect for all people.
- Develop communication, analytic, creative, and information-gathering skills.
- Prepare students as informed and responsible citizens.
- Afford opportunities for success in students' personal and professional lives.
