Foreign languages have been offered at Stevens Point since the founding of the Stevens Point Normal School in 1894. The languages you can learn on campus or through distance learning include Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hmong, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. We offer majors and minors in French, German and Spanish. The program in Teaching English as a Second Language is also housed in our department. In addition, our teacher education program includes French, German, Spanish, and English as a Second Language. Finally, we offer a minor in Comparative Literature

 

UW-Stevens Point's excellence is based on the emphasis placed on helping students acquire proficiency in language and culture and providing them with opportunities to live and study in the countries and regions of the world where the language and culture can be found. In cooperation with the Office of International Programs, we offer semester long language immersion programs in Caen (France), Marburg (Germany) and Valladolid (Spain). Students of Spanish may also choose the summer program in Oaxaca (Mexico).

 

For the first time, the annual conference of the North Central Council of Latin Americanists (NCCLA) will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point from September, Friday 27 to Saturday 28, 2013.  The NCCLA Conference is sponsored by the Letters and Science College and the Foreign Languages Department.
