Modern Languages rolls out new nameRapidly changing conditions in global economics and security have presented challenges for foreign language departments at colleges across the United States. To keep up with challenges and to provide an innovate education for students, exciting new developments are underway in UNC’s Department of Modern Languages to prepare UNC students for new and growing demands in business, government, and international NGOs for advanced language and intercultural competence. The first major change includes a fresh department name: the Department of World Languages and Cultures. In addition, a new degree in European Languages and Cultures has received initial approval to take the place of current French and German degrees.
