Making learning enjoyable…If you are a faculty, or a student enrolled in a language course, come on in! You are invited to the K-State language corner. We will provide you audio, video, and computer multimedia services for both undergraduate and graduate level courses within the Department of Modern Languages. The LLC currently serves about 1,250 students each semester, and offers a variety of resources. The Language Learning Center is the location for students to have their language skills tested prior to enrolling in most language courses. The LLC is open all year.

Double majors and dual degrees

Students are encouraged to combine their modern language major with a major in a different field or college. To accomplish this, the student needs to complete the requirements for a BA in modern languages as well as those for the other major or degree.

Entering students who have had previous language experience and who plan to continue language study are required to take a language placement examination before or at the beginning of the first semester of language study. If there is any doubt as to proper placement, check with the head of the Department of Modern Languages.

Students wishing to acquire retroactive credit for language proficiency gained before coming to K-State should consult with the head of the Department of Modern Languages.

Financial aid

The department offers scholarships to undergraduate majors and double majors for study at K-State or on the study abroad programs. For details, contact the head of the Department of Modern Languages.

Programs abroad

The department sponsors summer study programs in France, Germany, Mexico, and Spain. All inquiries should be addressed to the head of the department.

In addition, students may choose to participate in other programs, such as the International Student Exchange Program, the ERASMUS program, or the Community Service Program.
