现代语言，文学和文化系是喜欢学习其他语言和文化并意识到交流在当代生活各个方面的重要性的学生的选择。Bishop的环境非常适合语言习得。小班授课鼓励教师与学生之间的融洽关系，以及学习和实践的绝佳机会。Bishop的整体规模小，可促进各个系之间的紧密互动，从而使跨学科研究成为一种令人兴奋的可能性。因此，学生可以决定专门研究一种，两种甚至三种语言，或者将他们的语言学习与音乐，哲学，商业或科学等其他学科的专长结合起来。现代语言专业包括60个学分，分别以两种语言在30种语言中平均分配（30/30），集中于德语，日语
Bishop’s constitutes a cultural crossroads. Its setting in a predominantly anglophone community in the middle of francophone Quebec provides our students with exposure to both major linguistic and cultural groups in Quebec, while its diverse student population–drawn from all parts of Quebec, Canada, the United States, and abroad–assures a vibrant interchange between students of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The Bishop’s environment is ideal for language acquisition. Small class size encourages an excellent rapport between teachers and students, as well as superb opportunities for learning and practice. Bishop’s small size overall fosters a close interaction amongst the various faculties, making interdisciplinary studies an exciting possibility. Thus, students may decide to specialize in one, two, or even three languages, or combine their language studies with concentrations in other disciplines like music, philosophy, business or science. This major is equally divided between two language Concentrations (3030), which will be specified on the student’s final transcript. The languages available for Concentrations are German, Japanese and Spanish, as well as English Language Studies or French (offered by the Département des études françaises et québécoises). Students may choose one of their Concentrations in English or French, but completing Concentrations in English and French is not permitted for the Major in Modern Languages. The requirements and courses for the Concentrations within the Major in Modern Languages are listed under each specific language.
