WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR
A MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL SAWYER, CHAIR OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT, INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, AND LANGUAGES:
Hello and welcome to the Department of Government, International
Studies, and Languages at the University of Central Missouri.
The mission of the Modern Languages program is to provide a
world-class educational experience in the various modern
languages and to foster foreign language fluency and multicultural
awareness. In today’s ever-changing world, these are no longer
luxuries; American citizens have a real responsibility to be able to
competently navigate in the world outside U.S. borders.
This major handbook represents the debut of our new Modern
Languages major. In an effort to streamline our programs and
simplify the curriculum for students, we have collapsed our
previous major programs (French, German, Spanish) into
one. As you’ll see in subsequent sections of this handbook,
the lists of required courses have been eliminated; now the
only major requirement is to complete 36 hours in your
language of choice. This simpler, streamlined program also
includes new opportunities for combining your language
skills with professional training. You will have the option to
select a Professional Applications area, with concentrations
in business, criminal justice, education, hospitality
management, and public relations. Each of these
concentrations includes a hands-on practicum or internship,
abroad or in Missouri, in support of the university’s
goal to increase study abroad opportunities and participation
in high-impact learning experiences. Or, if you prefer, you
can simply select the Language and Culture area (no
minor required).
Again, welcome to the program and the department.
We look forward to getting to know you as you work towards
fluency in a second language.
OUR PROGRAMS OFFER:
◊ Engaging and relevant classes, such as business,
culture, literature, conversation and film
◊ Personalized attention
◊ Highly trained and experienced instructors
◊ Conversation practice in small groups with
native speakers
◊ Study abroad opportunities around the world
◊ A curriculum that integrates technology to
facilitate language learning
◊ A Modern Languages Club
◊ Minors in three languages as well as a World
Languages and Cultures minor, for which students
study three languages.
Knowing another language allows you
not only to function, but also to
compete effectively in the global
economy of the future.
Speaking another language increases
your job opportunities and salary
potential.
Studying a second language increases
your understanding of other people
and their cultures.
A second language opens up study
abroad opportunities.
Knowing a second language improves
your vocabulary in English.
Learning a new language develops
your critical and creative thinking
skills.
Knowing another language enhances
your travel abroad.
A second language opens doors to
art, music, literature, dance, fashion,
cuisine, and cinema.
Knowing another language exposes
you to different modes of thought.
A second language gives you
opportunities to help others in
unique ways.

STUDY TOURS
STUDY ABROAD
The experiences and skills you develop
abroad will help you mature personally and
academically as well as enhance your future
career opportunities. You can earn credit toward
your degree program and, with careful planning,
should lose no time toward graduation.
STUDY ABROAD
Study abroad programs are independent travel
experiences organized by the UCM International
Office. These programs are available for a
summer, a semester or an academic year. Study
abroad is an important component of learning
a second language. All majors and minors are
strongly encouraged to include study abroad in
their programs. Most students in French and
German, who wish to graduate in four years, will
need to study abroad. Currently, UCM offers
opportunities to study in many Spanish-,
German- and French-speaking countries during
the summer, fall, spring, or entire academic year.
Financial aid can be applied to UCM-sponsored
programs, and additional financial assistance
for studying abroad may be available from the
International Center.

STUDY TOURS
Study tours are short-term, faculty-led
programs with faculty leaders serving as
mentors, role models and resources as students
explore their host institution and countries.
Faculty leaders prepare the required
documentation for credit approval, eliminating
the steps needed with independent programs.
Faculty leaders have organized summer tours
in France, German and Spain. Contact the
Department of Government, International
Studies and Language. (Study Abroad
Guidelines for Students Arranging Individual
Study Abroad Programs not UCM study tours or
UCM study abroad.)
STEP ONE:
Prior to departure, you must provide the
following documentation to the department
chair.
An explanation from the school you
plan to attend of how your grade will be
calculated.
A statement from the school regarding
documentation that will be provided
to confirm your grade and class
attendance.
A statement from the school regarding
the number of hours of instruction you
will receive (general guideline: 15 hours
of instruction needed for one hour of
university credit).
Evidence from the student that the
courses will be at an appropriate level
based on the student’s prior study.
STEP TWO:
After all required documentation has been
reviewed and approved by the department chair,
you will be able to enroll in three to 12 hours.
The exact number of hours will depend on the
nature of the program you have selected.
STEP THREE:
Upon return you must meet with the department
chair and provide the documents issued by the
school abroad, as well as tests, papers and
other projects completed while enrolled in the
study abroad program. The chair will determine
your grade.

SCHOLARSHIPS
DALSY DELIENS BROWN SCHOLARSHIP
Originally from Costa Rica, Dalsy Deliens Brown obtained her education from the University of Costa
Rica, the University of Central Missouri, and the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where she earned a

Additionally, she greatly appreciated meeting and interacting with people from other cultures and
enjoyed traveling to Mexico, Central America and Spain. She and her husband also enjoyed studying

Outside of her family (and raising day lilies and irises), Dalsy Brown’s greatest love was teaching
Spanish. She was respected by her colleagues for her dedication to her profession and was known for
always having a friendly smile and words of encouragement for her many students.

ELIZABETH CALLAWAY SCHOLARSHIP
The donor, Betty Gomez Lance, graduated from the University of Central Missouri in 1944. It was then
called Central Missouri State Teachers College. Dr. Lance was the first foreign student to attend Central
Missouri.
In honoring Elizabeth Callaway with this scholarship, Lance said, “Miss Callaway was considered
a very good teacher and, above all, a very kind friend, whether the assistance needed was financial,
a shoulder to cry on, or timely advice. More than one student made it through the day because of
Miss Callaway. I did not speak English nor understand it when I first arrived on the Central Missouri State
Teachers College campus. Without Miss Callaway’s help and guidance, I would not have been
able to fulfill my professional dreams in this country. She was my ears, my voice, my adviser and
my surrogate mother.”
