The Department of Modern Languages offers full and varied programs leading to majors in French, German and Spanish. Instruction is also provided in American Sign Language, Arabic, Italian and Polish. Dual majors with virtually every other academic discipline are encouraged and easily implemented. Courses in Latin and Greek are provided by the Department of Classics.
The primary goal of the department is to develop the student’s ability to read, write, speak and understand the language(s) of his or her choice. At the same time, it strives to instill an understanding and appreciation of the culture, history, literature and diversity of other peoples. A further aim is to give the student a comprehensive grasp of the structure of language as an end in itself. In short, the department seeks to provide its students with the skills and intellectual breadth needed to communicate effectively and to play an active role in today’s world. As such, the courses offered in the Department of Modern Languages are aligned with the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning: Communication (Communicate in Languages Other Than English); Cultures (Gain Knowledge and Understanding of Other Cultures); Connections (Reinforce and Further Knowledge of Other Disciplines); Comparisons (Develop Insight into the Nature of Language and Culture); and Communities (Participate in Multilingual Communities at Home and Around the World).
Proficiency in foreign languages enables students to broaden their intellectual and aesthetic horizons. Specifically, such mastery can lead to rewarding careers in social work, international business (sales, management, banking, import-export), government service (customs and immigration, foreign service, AID, USIA, CIA, NSA), teaching, interpreting and scientific research, to mention but a few. Language skill can often be the deciding factor in finding a job in competition with equally qualified but monolingual peers. Finally, proficiency in one or more foreign languages is useful and often required for students who go on to pursue masters’ or doctoral degrees.

4. Free electives
Free electives are courses in addition to the Core Curriculum and major requirements sufficient to reach a minimum of 120 credit hours for graduation. Students may graduate with more but not less than 120 credit hours.
Study Abroad Requirement
Modern Language majors are required to study abroad for a minimum of four consecutive weeks in a formal pre-approved program in the target language. Canisius College maintains its own unique programs at the University of Lille (France); the University of Dortmund (Germany); Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht (Berlin, Germany); Katholische Universität Eichsatt (Eichstatt, Germany); the University of Oviedo (Spain); the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón (Puerto Rico); and the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo (Mexico). Education majors with a concentration in a Modern Language are highly encouraged to study abroad as well.
Other study abroad possibilities include, but are not limited to and are not necessarily pre-approved for study abroad credit for the Modern Language major, the Beijing Center (China), Lorenzo de Medici (Florence, Italy); Mediterranean Center for the Arts and Sciences in Sicily and John Cabot University in Rome; Sophia University (Tokyo, Japan); the University of Uppsala (Uppsala, Sweden); and the Academy of Fine Arts (Warsaw, Poland).
Students who choose to spend a semester abroad at a foreign university may count up to three courses as a Modern Language Core or Elective as long as these courses have been pre-approved by the chair of the Department of Modern Languages. Students who spend more than one semester studying at a foreign university of universities may count an additional two courses as a Modern Language Core or Elective. Exceptions to these rules will require special permission from the chair of the Department of Modern Languages. Credits for short programs abroad are determined by the number of contact hours.
As a general rule, students must complete the 215-216 sequence or the equivalent and one 300-level course at Canisius College prior to studying at a foreign university. Consultation with a Department of Modern Languages academic major advisor is required prior to study abroad. It is expected that students will complete at least one course in the major upon return to Canisius College.
Eligible students, whether majors or not, are also encouraged to participate in one or more of the non-academic summer internships that are maintained by the college in France, Germany, Mexico and Spain.
Atlantis Program is a special opportunity for business majors to earn a Canisius degree and a European degree at IECS School of Management/Robert Schuman University in Strasbourg, France or at the University of Antwerp in Belgium. This is a thirteen-month program divided between Antwerp and Strasbourg and includes a monthly living allowance of $1,200.00 to qualified program participants.
Cultural Requirement
Over the course of the semester, each student in the Department of Modern Languages in courses 103 and above will participate in or attend two cultural events or activities outside of regular class time. One of them must be related to the culture of the language under study. The second should at least have a multicultural character.
A current list of events acceptable in fulfillment of the cultural requirement will be posted electronically and updated weekly by the Modem Languages Department. Suggestions by students are welcome.
Dual Major
Language study lends itself uniquely to the concept of the dual major. Students may combine language programs with virtually any major, but of particular interest and practicality are dual majors with international business, international relations, communication, economics, marketing-management, philosophy, history, English, political science, art history, biology and chemistry.
Dual majors in French, German or Spanish and another department must complete FRC/GER/SPA 215-216, 323-324, 331-332 plus four French, German or Spanish electives. Dual majors in two languages must complete FRC/GER/SPA 215-216, 323-324 and 331-332 in both languages plus four electives in their primary language and two electives in their secondary language.
Education Majors with Language Concentration
Education majors fall into three separate tracks: those with a concentration in a Modern Language at the K-6 levels (Early Childhood and Childhood) are required to take a total of ten language courses beginning at a minimum of the 215-216 level; those with a concentration in a Modern Language at the secondary levels (Adolescence Education) are required to take a total of twelve language courses beginning at a minimum of the 215-216 level; and, those with a dual major in any Education track and a Modern Language are required to take a total of twelve language courses beginning at a minimum of the 115-116 level.
Placement into Courses
Foreign language placement is determined by how many years of a language were studied between the ninth and twelfth grades. Initial language placements may be changed during the first week of classes.
- 0-1 year studied = 103 (Introductory level).
- 2-3 years studied = 115 (Advanced-introductory level). However, if the last year you studied that language was your sophomore year in high school and you received a C+ or lower, you will be placed into 103.
- 4-5 years studied = 215 (intermediate review level or higher). However, if the last year you studied that language was your junior year in high school and you received a C+ or lower, you will be placed into 115.
- AP scores of 3 = Fulfills a two-semester language sequence at the 115-116 level
- AP scores of 4 or 5 = Fulfills a two-semester language sequence at the 215-216 level.
- College Credit Programs refer to admission guidelines.
- CLEP credits = refer to admission guidelines.
- Transfer students = see appropriate associate dean.
Native Speaker
Native speakers of languages other than English receive a language requirement waiver if they are able to provide documentation of their native speaker status. Examples of documents include, but are not limited to, a school diploma received from a country where the language of instruction is not English or an internationally recognized examination certifying language abilities.
Native speakers of French, German or Spanish may be allowed to replace one or more of the required 300-level courses with a 300- or 400-level major elective, upon consultation with their departmental advisor. Second language proficiency is required ONLY for graduate-track majors, although it is strongly advised for language-education majors.
