Faculty of Foreign Studies

Cultivating the globally literate talent the world needs by providing them
with solid linguistic skills and a high-quality education.

The Faculty of Foreign Languages consists of three departments: English, European Languages, and Asian Languages. The English Department offers majors in English and in English Careers; European Languages offers majors in German, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, and Media Communication; and Asian Languages offers majors in Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, and Japanese Communication. This structure allows students to learn any of 10 languages, unusual for a private university.

Improved abilities in the major language plus English

The Faculty's objective is to maintain the quality and variety of major courses while cultivating students' second language abilities to the point where they can use the language as a tool for communication. The linguistic skills that students acquire will permit them to function broadly in a global society.

Acquiring a high-quality education beyond the major language

Students not only study the language area of their major but balance that by acquiring an international perspective and an extensive specialized education. In the English, European Languages, and Asian Languages departments, the Faculty provides a multilayered specialized education through major language, interdepartmental, and inter-faculty courses in order to satisfy the diverse needs of our students. Through this, students acquire not only specialized knowledge, but also a broad education.

Overseas study to cultivate the spirit for taking on challenges

All departments and majors offer their own overseas training programs so that their students have the opportunity to experience study abroad while at KSU.
