Welcome
to the World Languages Department!
The National Security Language Initiative (NSLI) proposes a plan to further strengthen national security and prosperity in the 21st century through education, especially in developing foreign language skills such as American Sign Language, Classical Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, Latin and Spanish.
An essential component of U.S. national security in the post-9/11 world is the ability to engage foreign governments and peoples, promote understanding, and convey respect for other cultures. Deficits in foreign languages negatively affect our national security, diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence communities and cultural understanding.
SMA is on the cutting edge with our Foreign Language Course Offerings.
Our courses offer an ideal blend of solid teaching methods and new, contemporary features, which are the source of vitality, variety, and challenge of our comprehensive language curriculum.
The focus of the Department is on language and real-life contexts, giving cadets the skills to make friends and survive in the Spanish-speaking world.
