BA (Honours) in Linguistics [Major] in Kingston Canada | Queen's University

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures is an interdisciplinary academic unit where students can acquire language skills, explore diverse literary and cultural traditions, and engage in Linguistics studies. The Department provides language instruction in Anishinaabemowin, Arabic, Chinese, German, Hebrew, Inuktitut, Italian, Japanese, Mohawk, Portuguese, and Spanish, along with degree programs in German Studies; Indigenous Studies; Italian; Languages, Literatures and Cultures; Linguistics; Hispanic Studies; Spanish and Latin American Studies; and World Language Studies. Following its reorganization in 2011, the Department introduced LLCU courses to meet evolving student demands and expand elective options. These courses emphasize analytical thinking and cultural exploration from global viewpoints, frequently incorporating language learning components. Since their inception, these courses have consistently attracted strong enrollment and student engagement at Queen's. While some courses run annually, others rotate every two years. Language study equips students for international travel, work, or residence while enhancing their communication abilities in Canada's diverse society. Degrees concentrating on languages, literatures, cultures, or Linguistics develop highly transferable competencies crucial in today's interconnected world. The Department actively promotes international study experiences available through Queen's for all enrolled students.
