The Campbell Program
The Campbell student
The Department of Foreign Languages features 26 courses in Spanish. This
diversity may allow you to concentrate either on the literary/cultural aspect
or oral/aural/written aspect of a language, though both areas are necessary for
a well-rounded educational experience.
Language study requires hard work, dedication and a willingness to practice
your skills independently, but there is also considerable support available to
those who need extra assistance. We have a state-of-the-art media center and
free tutoring offered through the department.
Traditionally, the goal of our majors is to teach foreign language at the
elementary or high school level, especially since there continues to be an
extremely strong demand for foreign language teachers.
Prerequisites for Spanish majors are course study in high school or completing
four semesters of basic courses here. Unless your background in high school
is especially strong, you will likely take the 201–202 sequence at Campbell.
However, our department is also attracting students who combine language
study with a second major. We strongly encourage such programs because it
enables our students to be even more competitive in the job market; it also
provides more career flexibility. With this in mind, our courses are organized
to allow for a double major.
Our double majors and minors are affiliated with many other departments
including Business, Communication Studies, History, Political Science,
Criminal Justice and Religion
The Campbell Approach
Because we are a small department, faculty members are able to give you a
great deal of personal attention. Major courses average seven students and
there are numerous opportunities for independent study.
As a result, you will get to know your professors on a personal level and
you will undoubtedly profit from these relationships both personally and
academically. These relationships help you make the most of your experience
while using your target language regularly in conversation.
The study of language is broad, so you will likely develop interests and
strengths in many areas including literature, linguistics, culture, conversation
and writing. We will encourage you to spend time studying in a country
where your target language is spoken to ensure you will profit from exposure
to a language and culture different from your own.

The Campbell faculty
Our full-time faculty members complement their strong academic credentials
with extensive professional travel experiences. Professor backgrounds include
a range of positions from teaching English in China, publishing a work on
Spanish literature working with the United States Foreign Service, and being
on the faculty of a major Latin American University.
We are also fortunate to have adjunct faculty members who also possess both
strong academic and practical experience.
Because of the department’s size, each academic adviser has a small load,
allowing teachers to concentrate on students’ individual needs. The
department also sponsors a Foreign Language Club, which will give you the
chance to socialize and work on charitable projects with other majors.
