Language enrollment best in Big 8
Staff Reporter
By MARK GATES
Bucking a trend of declining enrollments in foreign language classes at other Big Eight schools, participation in KU's foreign language programs is increasing slightly, Robert Cobb, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said yesterday.
Enrollment in foreign languages began to drop at most Big Eight universities five or six years ago. Cobb said, but KU's enrollment has slowed as the school has increased in the past two years.
More students are enrolled in foreign language classes at KU than at any other Big Eight school. About 5,000 KU students are enrolled in foreign language classes, Cobb said.
The University of Colorado has about 4,500 students in their foreign language program, followed by 3,112 at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
THE UNIVERSITY OF Nebraska has 1,931 students enrolled in foreign languages. Kansas State University has about 1,350, followed by Iowa State University with 1,084 and the University of Oklahoma with 1,032. The smallest number in the Big East, with 761.
"Historically, KU has had a very strong foreign language program and a very good teaching tradition."
"One of the strongest inducements to learn a language is the opportunity to study
Norris Lacy, chairman of the French and Italian department, said, "I feel strongly that learning another language opens another culture to you.
abroad. Soon, lots of students may wish to study Chinese."
"It is a very liberating experience. The other institutions might do better to have a language requirement or more vigorous programs."
However, two schools in the Big Eight have dropped the foreign language requirement for a bachelor's degree in arts and sciences.
Since last fall, Iowa State has required proficiency in a foreign language for only about 25 percent of the degrees available in their sciences and humanities department.
THREE YEARS AGO, Oklahoma dropped the foreign language requirement for a bachelor's degree.
Lacy said, "Five to seven years ago, universities were eliminating the language requirement. Now, in the last year or two, that trend has reversed."
"I think that is unfortunate." Cobb said.
"Interest in languages is cyclical. I don't
think we'll drop the foreign language
requirement in the foreseeable future."
KU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requires proficiency or the completion of 16 credit hours in a foreign language for a Bachelor of Science degree. KU also offers sciences. However, a bachelor of general
"The presence of the BGS has relieved pressure to modify specific requirements, like the foreign language or the math," Cobb said.
studies degree in liberal arts and sciences has no language requirement.
THERE ALSO ARE foreign language requirements at the other Bic Education.
"The people in arts and sciences would roll over in their graves if we dropped the language requirement," Gary Smith, of the University of Missouri-Columbian said.
becoming more and more important because we're increasingly becoming citizens of the world as much as citizens of a particular country."
In a survey by the Mid-America State Universities Association, KU had the largest number of students pursuing degrees in a foreign language. All Big Eight schools except Colorado were included in the survey.
According to Newsweek magazine, 61 percent of American colleges and universities require some language study for a bachelor's degree.
Cobb said, "Foreign language study is
