Undergraduate Programs
Welcome to the World Languages & Cultures Department.
As you explore undergraduate programs in world languages studies, the depth and breadth of opportunities available to you are truly remarkable. Courses range from core language skills – such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening – to the cultural, historical, and literary elements of your chosen languages. These programs not only equip you with fluency in one or more languages, but also enhance your critical thinking, broaden your cultural competency, and boost your communication abilities. There's an emphasis on real-world application too: you'll likely find yourself participating in language labs, study abroad programs, and immersive internships that foster an authentic understanding of the language and culture. And don't forget, these courses are not siloed - they often intersect with other disciplines like business, politics, or anthropology, opening up myriad avenues for cross-disciplinary exploration. Pursuing an undergraduate program in world languages studies can be a transformative journey, preparing you for a diverse range of careers and truly global opportunities.
