| Area of Concentration (A.o.C.) in World Languages and Cultures Program Description |
| The World Languages and Cultures curriculum is designed as a guide for students planning to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree in a variety of disciplines in which language skills and cultural awareness are required. The main areas of emphasis in this AOC are effective communication, cultural competence, making connections to acquire diverse perspectives, developing insight into the nature of language, and participating in multilingual communities in line with American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) standards. Students who complete the World Languages and Cultures AOC and then transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree are aided by having completed their general education core requirements as well as a variety of foundational courses in language and culture, thus satisfying requisites to upper-level courses at the four- year institution. |
