Department of Foreign Languages & Literatures (DFLL)

For Prospective Students

Welcome.

 

We're glad that you're interested in studying here at SIUC. In today's increasingly interconnected world, knowledge of foreign languages and foreign cultures is more important than ever. We teach eight different foreign languages at SIUC, but if you study with us you won't only learn a foreign language, you'll learn about a foreign culture: literature, art, cinema, and the rest. That's why we're called the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures.

 

We offer majors and minors in Classics (Latin or Greek), French, German, and Spanish, minors in Chinese and Japanese, and classes in American Sign Language (ASL). We also have an innovative program in Foreign Language and International Trade, which combines coursework in any of the modern languages with classes in business. In addition to these undergraduate programs, we offer a MA Program in French or Spanish.

 

The Department has a number of scholarships and awards available, both for incoming and continuing students. Particularly attractive for incoming students is our Buschek award of $1000, which is renewable for up to four years. Those interested in German should also be aware of the Helmut and Mary Liedloff Award, which provides tuition waivers to German majors.
