Biographical/Historical Note

Although the University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire and its predecessor institutions have offered foreign language instruction continuously since 1917-1918, a formal Foreign Languages Department did not come into being until 1926-1927. The first baccalaureate degrees in foreign languages (French and Spanish) were granted in 1951, the first year that the institution was authorized to grant such degrees.
