Course Overview

The department’s mission is to participate in and contribute to the College’s mission by offering, through our various courses, programs, and majors, fundamental and thorough education in the liberal arts and concurrently by correlating the benefits of liberal education with specific major-field studies (e.g., International Cultural Studies).

Your St. Francis College professors will teach you about the integral role culture plays in our interconnected world. The major offers three areas of study:

  • International Business
  • Latin America and the Caribbean
  • or Western Europe.

Through course offerings in foreign languages, the fine arts, and international cultural studies, the students learn to appreciate the complexities of the multicultural society in which we live.

Goals

  • Provide courses in foreign languages, fine arts, and international cultural studies that complement and help complete the College’s liberal arts curriculum and which, in the case of art and music, serve as essential elements of the General Education Program.
  • Help prepare students in ICS and Spanish majors for meaningful careers in a broad range of areas, such as business, government, law, teaching, and social services.
    Provide minor concentrations in music, fine arts, foreign languages, and international studies as a significant supplement to the student’s chosen major.
  • Develop in all students an appreciation of cultural and linguistic diversity and offer an in-depth understanding of those cultures the students choose to investigate.
    Develop in all students, particularly the ICS and Spanish majors, the knowledge and skills needed for graduate studies.
  • Enrich students’ academic experiences at the College through a wide variety of cultural experiences, such as concerts on and off-campus, museum tours, architectural field trips, and other social events that draw upon the city’s cultural richness.
  • Offer to departmental majors and interested students from other departments the opportunity for internships and study abroad in contexts appropriate to their academic interest.

Objectives

  • Students will effectively demonstrate an understanding of concepts from their courses in written and oral form.
  • Students will analyze works of art and music using the appropriate vocabulary of each discipline.
  • Students will speak, write, read, and exhibit an understanding of languages, cultures, and literature in Spanish, French, or Italian.
  • Students will demonstrate an ability to live in and understand a foreign culture for a period of a month or a year.
