Department of Classical & Modern Languages and Literatures
B.A. in Foreign Languages
Department Head: Robert M. West, Professor
Graduate Coordinator: Kelly Moser, Associate Professor
Undergraduate Coordinator: Amie Russell, Instructor II
Office: 1500 Lee Hall
Foreign language majors prepare for careers in government (State Department, foreign service, diplomatic corps, FBI, CIA, USIA, the military, immigration, etc), international business, the human services fields, teaching at all levels (secondary school, junior college, university), and other language-related jobs.
Programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), the joint Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Foreign Languages are offered. For the B.A., the department offers five major concentrations: Asian Studies, Classics, French, German, and Spanish. A minor in Foreign Languages with concentrations in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish may be obtained upon satisfactory completion of 18 semester hours in one language. Classics offers minors on two distinct tracks. A minor with concentration in Classical Languages requires 15 hours of courses taught in Greek or Latin, 12 of which must be Greek or Latin courses beyond the first year (i.e. not including FLL 1113, FLL 1123, FLH 1113, or FLH 1123); the remaining course may by any FL Classics course. A minor with concentration in Classical Civilizations requires 18 hours total, which may be a combination of any FL Classics courses (excluding FL 2123) and any courses taught in Greek (FLH) or Latin (FLL). Education students desiring Foreign Language teaching certification must see appropriate guidelines from the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education for the language requirements.
The Department sponsors four honor societies: Pi Delta Phi (French), Delta Phi Alpha (German), Sigma Delta Pi (Spanish), and Eta Sigma Phi (Classics). Information about membership requirements may be obtained from the Head of the Department. The Department also sponsors language clubs which provide social and cultural activities for faculty and students.
The Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages is awarded upon the successful completion of a minimum of 123 semester hours, including the following areas:
- General Education Requirements
- Bachelor of Arts Common Requirements
- Note that degree requirements vary among the concentrations. It is the student's responsibility to meet the requirements of the chosen concentration, as listed below.
- Study abroad is highly recommended. Foreign Language majors interested in following this recommended course of study should notify the advisor as soon as possible, so that a plan of study can be developed to make sure graduation requirements are met.
- The hours needed for graduation will depend upon the entry level of study into the major language; a minimum of eight, 3-credit hour courses in the chosen concentration at the 3000-level, or higher, is required.
*Note: Asian Studies is structured to allow the student to choose an East Asian language that may be either Chinese or Japanese in addition to literature and culture courses.
International Business Program
A Five-Year Double Degree Program (154 hours):

The International Business Program at Mississippi State University is designed to help bright, ambitious students prepare for an increasingly global future. The program is distinct in discharging this mission through (1) education in the principles of international business, (2) a concentrated study in foreign language and, (3) a coordinated program of practical skills acquisition.
Graduates from the International Business program typically complete their studies in five years, receiving two degrees, each designed to cover a separate aspect of living and working internationally:
- a Bachelor of Business Administration or a Bachelor of Accountancy with a major in a specific business discipline such as Accounting, Business Administration, Business Information Systems, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing, or Supply Chain Logistics with a concentration in International Business
- a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Foreign Languages and a concentration in Asian Studies (Mandarin Chinese or Japanese track), French, German, or Spanish
The hallmark of the International Business program at MSU is its emphasis on real, cross-cultural immersion, both academically and in a real-world business context. Two additional requirements of the IB program include:
- Study Abroad Experience: All IB students must study their target language abroad for at least six continuous weeks in one location at an accredited university. This experience can be either for a summer or a regular semester term. These experiences may be completed with group trips organized through the Department of Classical & Modern Languages and Literatures or on an individual basis in coordination with the Office of Study Abroad. Alternate study abroad options may be considered and approved on a case-by-case basis. A maximum of 6 hours of a study abroad experience may be counted toward the Arts & Sciences upper division resident hours requirement.
- Business Internship: IB students must also complete an internationally oriented internship in which they work for a company conducting significant international business. The minimum duration of the internship is ten weeks on the job. Ideally, the internship will be reflective of the student’s specific business discipline and language proficiency area but will ultimately be dependent on the student’s own initiative, qualifications, and interest. Students may elect to combine the internship and academic study abroad experiences by pursuing an internship outside the country while also taking classes at an accredited university in that country. Such an internship must be a minimum of 10 weeks in length.
Other considerations:
- Admission to the International Business program is limited and competitive. In addition to being accepted at Mississippi State University, applicants are evaluated on their academic qualifications by the International Business Academic Program Committee. Students must maintain a 3.25 overall GPA to stay in the IB program.
- Existing foreign language fluency is not required.
- Students must meet all graduation requirements for the College of Business and the College of Arts & Sciences. These requirements include a 2.5 GPA in Upper Division Business courses and 30 resident credit hours of Upper Division (3000/4000 level) Arts & Sciences courses.
- International Business students must have an overall and previous semester GPA of 2.67 to be eligible for internship and study abroad experiences.
- Students are reminded that the IB program is a double major, and they must see advisors in both the Department of Classical & Modern Languages and Literatures and the International Business office each semester.
