Teach romance languages? Oui! Si!

Choosing to study a foreign language in an increasingly global world allows for the development and refinement of communication, listening and speaking skills — while also endowing yourself with a concern for world affairs and an appreciation of and respect for individual differences.

The Master of Arts in Romance Languages program at App State offers two areas of emphasis: French and Spanish. Each track is designed for you to start or advance your teaching career, in either a K–12 or college classroom.

Visit the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures website for more information about the Romance Languages program.
