At a time when foreign-language programs are being proposed for elimination at a number of cash-strapped public universities, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville has come up with a plan that will allow it to keep threatened majors in Russian, Italian, and other low-enrollment languages, The Knoxville News Sentinel reported. The university’s provost approved last week a plan under which the department of modern foreign languages and literatures will combine all eight foreign languages it teaches into one degree and offer concentrations in each language. Foreign-language programs at American universities are seeing increasing enrollments over all, but have also experienced a steady loss in the number of degree programs offered, according to recent reports.
