Foreign Languages
The academic programs in Foreign Languages in the Department of Languages & Literatures focus on developing students' linguistic abilities, cultural understanding, and critical thinking. The programs draw on varied sources such as literary and non-literary texts, film, art and music, and technology in order to engage students in an evolving global community.
Study abroad is encouraged. Sacred Heart University has its own study abroad programs in Spain, Italy, Ireland, France, Luxembourg, and Australia. The University is also affiliated with American institutions that offer study abroad opportunities throughout the world, including locations in Canada and Latin America.For more information, visit the Office of Global Affairs website.
Students can pursue a major in Spanish, minors and certificates in Italian and Spanish, and courses in French. Courses are also offered occasionally in Arabic, Chinese, Gaelic, Japanese, and Latin.
