The College of Language & Letters is dedicated to intellectually developing its students in the study of Languages, Literature, Composition, History, Political Science, Geography, Humanities, and Philosophy.  Each department recognizes the need to help develop the students' writing, reasoning, speaking, and critical thinking skills.  The college is also home to the Academic Learning Department where students can receive assistance in areas such as reading, writing, study skills, tutoring in most subjects, English as a second language, and disability services.

The college is home to eight majors and twenty-three minors.  Of the eight majors, five are teacher education specific, and among the twenty-three minors, ten also deal with preparing future educators.  The college takes its role in the preparation of teachers very seriously.  We strive to have our students obtain high Praxis pass rates, solid student teaching ratings, success in finding employment, and acceptance into graduate schools for those desiring further education.

We endeavor to assure that our three non-education majors will afford their graduates good career opportunities and/or graduate school placement.  It is also hoped that our 13 non-education minors provide students with ancillary skills that will serve them well in their careers and in many other facets of life.

Besides producing highly educated people, the College of Language & Letters is committed to assist the university in its broader mission to develop good citizens, strong families, and people of deep spirituality.  It is hoped that the teaching in this college will foster within the students a dedication to living life in a way consistent with the highest of moral principles.
