The Department of World Languages and Cultures (WLAC), housed in the School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI, has been through a series of transitions over the last twenty years due to university structural changes, but mostly because of curricular needs. Originally there were three separate departments, French, Spanish and German, as each of these core languages offered a BA degree, and the other languages offered were distributed equally among those three academic units for administrative and course scheduling purposes. The three languages had healthy numbers of majors, but many students were registered in the School of Education in the teacher certification program and only met the language requirements to complete their degrees. Eventually, due to decreasing enrollments in French and German, and the need to cut back on funding three department chairs, all languages merged in 1997, forming the Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures which then changed to the Department of World Languages and Cultures (WLAC) in 2000, with one chair and coordinators for the individual degree-offering languages. In 2015, WLAC completed a program review as part of the overarching requirement from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The external review report, based on the WLAC Self-Study and an on-site visit by the external review team, highlighted the strength of the program established at IUPUI.
