The Department of Languages and Literatures offers programs of study that cultivate a deeper understanding of both ourselves and others. Throughout our curriculum, we foster critical and creative interaction with languages, literatures, and cultures. Guided by a faculty of educators, scholars, writers, and editors, students seek to answer the persistent questions of humanity that are heard across times and places, while they develop their own ability to communicate. With in- and out-of-classroom opportunities, community service, study abroad programs, publishing ventures, and multicultural programming, the department provides its students with the practical experience and skills to thrive in a diverse world.
