The Department of World Languages & Literatures provides instruction in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and American Sign Language. The curriculum emphasizes achieving language fluency while exploring cultural traditions, literature, and societal aspects. Students can participate in faculty-led study abroad programs, independent international education, professional internships, and service learning initiatives. French, German, and Spanish majors complete 24 upper-division credit hours, with teacher certification options available. Minors in these languages require 15 upper-division credits, while Arabic, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese minors need 12. Course offerings cover literature, cultural studies, linguistics, and career-focused language applications. For languages not taught at Texas State, the MODL designation serves as a transfer credit mechanism for courses taken elsewhere. MODL also applies when students demonstrate proficiency through ACTFL-OPI exams in languages without dedicated course prefixes, though these credits don't count toward degree requirements.
