Welcome to the OCU Modern Language Department
Language study requires dedication and steady effort. As an academic field, it is full of challenge, discoveries and, a great deal of fun. Language skills are also immensely practical.
The study of a modern language requires understanding and active use of the structures and linguistic patterns of a language as a means of communication. Knowledge of a language also provides insight into past and present achievements of cultures in the context of business, every-day life, and the arts.
Developing
markets in Europe, Latin America, and in the Pacific Basin will require people
with multi-language skills. Employment opportunities can be found in teaching,
research, publishing, translation, social work, medical fields, international
banking, finance, marketing, advertising, journalism, the arts, travel industry,
and domestic and international government service.
