Languages, Cultures and Literatures

The Department of Languages, Cultures and Literatures offers its students small classes and a large variety of courses in its curriculum, including five languages (Arabic, French, Spanish, German, and Italian).

Through the in-depth focus on the three integrally related areas of language study—language, literature and culture—you’ll be exposed to fresh ways of looking at yourself and at the world. With this in mind, the department strongly encourages its students to spend at least one semester abroad in order to gain fluency in the foreign language and share in the everyday life and traditions of its native speakers.
