Abstract
In institutions of higher learning in almost every state of the United States, a Liberal Arts Associate Degree requires that students pursue the study of a modern language. In its report entitled ‘Considering Community Colleges: Advice to graduate students and job seekers’, the Modern Language Association Committee on Community Colleges states that ‘more than 50% of all United States undergraduates are enrolled in community colleges (Phillippe, 2015) and that about half of undergraduates will take their only college-level studies in language and literature at a community college.’
