The Center for Modern Languages

The Center for Modern Languages at Baruch College’s Division of Continuing and Professional Studies offers a rich array of modern languages, including Arabic, Cantonese, French, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and more. We emphasize an integrative approach to language instruction, ensuring that all students not only gain a foundation in language structure, but more importantly, they become comfortable and confident in using the language to communicate with native speakers. Class time is generally spent on listening and speaking activities, which incorporate grammar, vocabulary and culture. Homework is used to reinforce language points learned in class and focuses on short reading and writing activities. Classes are small so you will receive a lot of individualized attention from our highly qualified and enthusiastic faculty. 

The Center for Modern Languages also supports a state-of-the-art language lab, which allows students to practice their language skills and explore foreign language films, television, music, newspapers, magazines, and websites.

Whether you are interested in learning a new language because you are traveling abroad or want to improve your language skills for business or academic purposes, our language courses will help you reach your goals.
