World Languages

Are you interested in an immersive experience focused on a language and a culture not your own? Would you like to use the knowledge gained from that experience to teach? To serve others as a translator or interpreter? 

This program from Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences’ Department of English & World Languages prepares students for a variety of career pathways. 

The World Languages program at Augusta University offers an experience like no other — one that gives you concentrations in French and Spanish as well as a concentration in teaching.

Coursework

French and Spanish concentrations provide students with opportunities to study literature and culture, hone conversation, composition and translation skills, and to work closely with faculty on academic research. Those interested in teaching follow the Secondary Teacher Certification path, which helps them develop the knowledge they need in the classroom. All learn to write in a variety of modes, to conduct independent and collaborative research and to understand domestic and global cultures through language study.
