he Department of European Languages, Literatures, and TCultures fosters teaching and research in modern and classical European languages, literatures, and cul- tures at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Many courses in English transla- tion also offer access to this field to stu- dents with a general interest in the Western tradition. The Department pre- pares students for post-graduate profes- sional training, graduate study, and for a global market in which knowledge of other languages and cultures is increas- ingly essential. In addition, the Department promotes the training of sec- ondary school language teachers in European languages through a program that conforms to the requirements in the New York State Regents Guidelines. See individual listings for requirements for the majors and minors in: Classical Civilization, European Studies, French, German, Italian, Medieval Studies, and Russian.

Study Abroad The Department encourages both majors and minors to complete some of their coursework abroad in the junior or senior year. The University maintains exchange programs during the academic year and in the summer in Paris, France; Tübingen, Germany; Rome, Italy; and there are several other programs in Germany, Poland, and Russia sponsored by other SUNY colleges and universi- ties. See the Special Academic Oppor- tunities chapter in this Bulletin and the Study Abroad Office for further details.
