Foreign Study: All students are strongly encouraged to develop their language skills through a study abroad experience. See Off-Campus Programs, especially ACM and SIT programs. Also described there is the Department's Foreign Language Abroad Program (FLAP), which covers programs abroad run by other institutions in modern languages taught at Cornell.
Cornell students may participate in Lake Forest College's International Study/Internship Program in France through an agreement between the two colleges. Cornell students also have the opportunity to study some less-widely-taught languages during the summer at Beloit College.
In addition, the Department offers one-term courses taught by Cornell faculty in
Greece (CLA 381),
Italy (CLA 382),
Mexico (SPA 206,
302, and
303),
Quebec (FRE 206 and
302),
Russia (RUS 384), and
Spain (SPA 303 and
381),
and a semester-long program in Bolivia.
Concentration: A flexible program leading to the B.S.S. degree or to an individualized major may involve work in other departments as well as in languages. Suggested concentrations include comparative literature, history, philosophy, religion, period studies, contemporary culture, area studies, international relations, and international business.
Courses in Translation: In order to introduce other cultures and literatures to students who have not had the opportunity to study the particular foreign languages, the Department offers the following courses in English translation. Such courses require no knowledge of the foreign language. A full description of each course is given under the appropriate language.
