The LIS Department offers a major with two possible concentrations: Hispanic Studies and Multiple Languages. In addition, students can minor in Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Spanish for Health Professions, and take courses in Arabic, Chinese, Italian, and Russian that can count towards an LIS minor.  The French program at CCU has two slotted faculty members and three adjuncts. It contributes to the growth of the Languages and Intercultural Studies major and minor as well as the French Studies minor as well as the African and African Diaspora Studies minor and the European Studies minor.
