Going the right direction

For several years I had been debating, weighing, and deciding what it was that I should Major in during my studies at Brigham Young University. I have finally gone into English Teaching. I have started a new term and I am taking classes on literature. They are on the Fundamentals of Interpreting Literature and British Literary History 1.
The class I am enjoying the most right now is British Lit. 1. We have gone over Anglo-Saxon stories like Beowulf, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. While going over the histories of the texts, there is a comparison of the Old English to our Modern English, and I have discovered another deep interest of learning Old English along with the German tongue.
However my excitement is in wanting to study these languages, I don't know how to seek it in my academics. I want to ask my English professors, and even the academic offices in the Humanities department, but I don't know how to pose the question. Perhaps a part of me is afraid of finding out that they don't have such a program, perhaps I'm afraid they won't understand the question that I'm asking.
