Exploring a Rich Cultural Tapestry

The Department of Global Languages and Cultures at SUNY Geneseo is your gateway to a wealth of languages and cultures. Acquire or improve fluency in one (or more) of the languages we offer. The benefits are multifold: enhanced awareness of other peoples and cultures, increased communication skills, foreign languages as an invaluable asset to any career, and the rewarding feeling of becoming a true citizen of the world.

The department offers a B.A. in French and in Spanish as well as minors in French, German, and Spanish. Courses are also offered in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Russian.  The department plays an integral role in the interdisciplinary programs in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, European Studies, Black and Africana Studies, and Medieval Studies.  Options leading to provisional New York State certification (N-6 and 7-12) and to the M.S. for teachers of French and Spanish are also available.
