Languages and Culture Studies
Within the Languages and Culture Studies program you can pursue a B.A. degree in French, Classics, Spanish, World Languages, or K-12 Teacher Certification in French or Spanish. Minors in French, Greek, Latin, and Spanish are also available.

BIOGRAPHY
Katherine Panagakos earned her M.A. in Classics from Tulane University and her Ph.D. in Greek and Latin from The Ohio State University. During her graduate work, she was a student at The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) and was a field walker and camp manager at the Eastern Korinthia Archaeogical Survey (EKAS). Katherine spent three years in a rotating position at schools in the Associated Colleges of the South (Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX; Furman University in Greenville, SC; and Rhodes College in Memphis, TN).
She began teaching primarily Latin and Classics-related courses at Stockton in January of 2008. Katherine serves as the advisor for the Classics National Honor Society (ΗΣΦ) and OGRE (Order of Greco-Roman Enthusiasts), as well as being an active member of the Interdisciplinary Center of Hellenic Studies (ICHS) and the Friends of Hellenic Studies (FHS). Her research focuses on the ancient Greek and Roman novels. Katherine is currently working on three manuscripts. The first focuses on the role of pirates and robbers in the ancient novels and the other two are in collaboration with former students: one is an intermediate Greek text on Aesop’s Fables; the other is a collection of essays on suicide in the ancient Greco-Roman world.

Jongbok Yi
Associate Professor of Asian Philosophy
BIOGRAPHY
I was born in Seoul, Korea. I studied Ch’an or Zen Buddhist traditions in China and Korea, and also studied and practiced Daoism and Confucianism in Sungkyunkwan University. After attaining an M.A. degree for early Ch’an Buddhism at Seoul National University in 2000, while studying Indian and Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism at the University of Virginia, I achieved an M.A. in 2005 and a Ph.D. degree in 2013. I am very interested in the intellectual history of the philosophy of the Middle Way (Madhyamaka, dbu ma) in India and Tibet. Currently, I am planning to collaborate with two Japanese scholars to publish a series of books on Tibetan understanding of Indian Middle Way School from 8th century C.E. to 15th century C.E.
I am also a tea drinker. Please stop by and tell me your story with a sip of tea.

Careers
Students majoring in specific languages are able to combine their studies with Education for public school teaching certification. In 1996, the State of New Jersey incorporated a World Language Education Program in its Core Curriculum Content Standards and Frameworks for K- 12 students. The need for professionally trained teachers of foreign languages is critical and will increase in the future.
A major in Spanish also prepares students for graduate school. Combined with other majors, study in modern languages, at least at the level of the minor, can increase employment potential in many fields, especially within the greater metropolitan areas of the United States and in fields that involve working in different countries or branches of business.
Special Opportunities
During their junior or senior year, students are encouraged to pursue study abroad
and internship opportunities, such as the Washington Internships Program. Further information can be found on
the University’s Office of Global Engagement website.
Language Lounge
Our language lounge is open to all students taking language classes. The lounge provides you with a quiet space for study, tutoring, and small group work.
This page provides information for students interested in French, Spanish, German and/or Italian courses. Transfer and first year students planning on taking courses in any of those languages are strongly advised to take the placement exam before attending orientation or registering for any modern language course. The test will help you place in our beginning, intermediate or advanced levels of language instruction.
The placement test is not offered for Ancient Greek and Latin. Students interested in those languages should inquire at the following email address: languages@stockton.edu.
Taking the Language Placement Test
The language placement test is a free exam that is web-based, multiple choice, computerized and adaptive–the exam selects each test item as you proceed based on the answer given to the previous question. The exam covers vocabulary, grammar and reading. If you are unfamiliar with some material, make your best guess and move on to the next question.
It is advised to only take the placement test once. Taking the exam twice will not update the scores you received on your first try.
For the best result, you should take the test in the weeks preceding the semester when you actually plan to take a course in your chosen language.
Note: When taking the test, you should not use notes, dictionaries, textbooks or other sources. If you get help in any way or if you answer questions incorrectly on purpose, you will be placed in the incorrect level. Being placed in a lower or higher level of language competence will affect your academic experience with languages negatively.
