Spanish, now spoken as a first language by more than 30 million North Americans, has made it essential for many professionals to be fluent. The objective at The College of Wooster is to enrich students intellectually and to fully equip them for their experiences in the real world.

The curriculum of the Department of Spanish may be utilized for specialization leading to public school or university teaching; research in Peninsular Spanish literature and culture, Latin American literatures and cultures or Hispanic Linguistics; business and government work; work with the Peace Corps and a wide variety of professional, service, and voluntary agencies in Spanish-speaking areas of the world and urban and rural concentrations of Hispanic peoples in the USA.

German Department at Wooster offers students preparation in the German language and in the literature and culture of the German-speaking countries. The curriculum encourages active development of written and spoken facility with German, promotes intercultural thinking and communication, and introduces students to the methods and questions central to the study of German cultural history.

French Department offers a program of courses with a twofold objective: to develop high proficiency in French language skills and to inculcate a knowledge and appreciation of the culture and literature of French-speaking countries. In recent years, graduates who have majored or minored in French have gone on to further studies or employment in a variety of areas, including teaching, library science, publishing and editing, translation, personnel work, travel, international business, banking, and law.

All courses in the department are taught in French. Outside the classroom, students have the opportunity to hone their language skills and cultural understanding by living in the French House, by dining at the French tables, and by participating in activities of the department and the French House.

Language shapes peoples’ lives and informs human culture, and in literary forms, serves readers and writers as a source of pleasure and knowledge. The English department at The College of Wooster encourages critical inquiry and expression related to cultural and literary writing in the English language.

The department’s curricular goal is to enable an understanding of the interrelationship of language, texts, writing and culture. Courses address questions such as: How do we read, write, and interpret texts? How does the culture of an era or region influence the written word, and, conversely, how do those texts influence culture

Comparative Literature is a discipline that sees textual activity as involved in a complex web of cultural relations. It seeks, according to the editors of The Comparative Perspective on Literature (1988), “to understand literary texts in relation to a variety of other texts including those belonging to other languages and cultures, other disciplines, other races, or the other sex.” The program at The College of Wooster is interdepartmental in character and includes both explicitly comparative courses and courses that focus on a particular national literature, both in the original and in translation.

language is important to learn, considering the number of people (over 1.3 billion) that speak it. With its rapidly transformation into a modern industrial society and a key player in global economy, and with its over 4,000 years of written history, China is, more than ever, an all-encompass and multi-faceted cultural area and academic field. The written language, very different from the writing systems of any European Romance languages, is in fact a form of art (calligraphy) that communicates not only ideas but also personal and individual idiosyncrasies. By learning the written characters, the student comes to see how the Chinese mind operates, how the world is conceptualized and represented through the word, and how values are embedded in the very structure (and grammar) of the language.
