Foreign Languages

The AA Degree in Foreign Language provides academic preparation in two foreign languages. Via this preparation, students also learn to think globally and critically by analyzing manifestations of culture. Students are prepared to transfer to baccalaureate degree programs in Linguistics or another language related major. This AA Degree also meets the needs of those who wish to gain aptitudes in foreign languages or may enter the job market in fields that require knowledge of a foreign language. Students must complete all required courses for a minimum of 18-20 units. Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will demonstrate increased reading and listening comprehension of the target languages; utilize oral and written communicative skills to produce the target languages; and demonstrate increased knowledge of the target languages’ cultures.
