The Department of Foreign Languages at Mississippi State University offers programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Arts (B.A ) and the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Foreign Languages. A minor in foreign languages (French, German, Latin, or Spanish) may be obtained upon completion of 10 hours of upper-division coursework in one language. Education students desiring teacher certification must earn at least 27 semester hours in the language they plan to teach.
