推荐杏吧原创 World Languages and Literatures

Our mission is to promote the diversity of world cultures by offering an educational experience that gives graduate and undergraduate students not just a window to the world, but a passkey to understanding and communicating with its peoples in meaningful and useful ways.  

Our curriculum ensures students are exposed to international perspectives that build global and intercultural competence through all of our minor and major programs. And because proficiency in a second language and deep knowledge about another culture is valuable not only in and of itself but also as a useful complement to almost any other discipline, our French and Spanish baccalaureate programs support students who pursue dual majors and degrees, with the result that our department consistently boasts more on-time graduating dual-major and dual-degree students than any other program on campus. Additionally, our contribution to the College’s Applied Liberal Arts Initiative, ensures opportunities for students to succeed in the global workforce. Our programs are thoroughly involved in the University’s  program, where students sharpen their language and cultural skills in a variety of host countries.

We are committed to the University’s strategic plan, Wolf Pack Rising, which embraces a culture of excellence, inclusion, and accessibility. Our faculty members aim to excel in teaching, to make significant scholarly, creative, and entrepreneurial contributions to their fields, and to provide distinguished service to the University.
