UW-Milwaukee Dept. of Foreign Languages and Linguistics Records, 1963-2013

Biography/History

The Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics was created after a reorganization that occurred in May 1996. The merger established one single department focused on teaching the non-romance languages at UW-Milwaukee. At this time five departments merged and the individual departments became known as programs: Classics, Hebrew Studies, German, Linguistics, and Slavic Languages. Separate collections exist for each of these predecessor departments. A more complete administrative history is available in the corresponding finding aids for these collections.
