The Department of Modern Languages plays a key role
at UNK by preparing students for an increasingly
global, multicultural society in which knowledge of
other languages and cultures is an important asset.
Offering courses essential for a strong liberal arts
education, Modern Languages is developing new ways
to enhance the teaching and learning environment for
students who will become successful teachers of
foreign languages, translators and interpreters, and
leaders in international business and education.
With an emphasis on interaction between students and
faculty, departmental programs feature courses in
language, literature, and culture. Other courses
provide training in teaching methods, translation
and interpretation, and multicultural understanding.
Committed to excellent teaching, faculty in the
Department of Modern Languages are scholars who
continue their intellectual development and use
their expertise to enliven the students' learning
experience. Students can choose to participate in a
wide variety of educational activities, including
Study Abroad in Mexico, the Foreign Film Series, and
the study of beginning Japanese.

Since the most important for a translator is
language and cultural knowledge, the University
of Nebraska at Kearney offers the possibility for
students to become translators with its courses in
language, literature, and culture.
