Foreign Languages

Associate in Arts (DTA)

The Foreign Language discipline is designed to satisfy the requirements for:

1. Students transferring to a four-year institution, and

The courses center around the acquisition of a basic vocabulary to express familiar and daily situations, a functional use of grammatical patterns, and a knowledge of cultural aspects of the countries whose language is being taught.
