The Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies provides MA and PhD programs across four primary academic streams
Following the cohort model, students admitted to each stream progress collectively through their curriculum, including coursework, portfolio components, colloquia, workshops, and other program requirements. This collaborative approach fosters peer support and establishes lasting professional relationships that extend beyond graduate studies. Every stream includes specialized core courses, diverse faculty knowledge, and elective options tailored to the stream's focus and, where feasible, aligned with the cohort's linguistic, cultural, or thematic preferences.
Faculty advisors collaborate with students to nurture research pursuits incorporating various theoretical frameworks—such as gender and sexuality studies, visual culture theory, urban studies, folklore, film theory, digital media studies, discourse analysis, second-language acquisition, and others—spanning historical periods from ancient to modern. The department facilitates research across numerous languages and cultural contexts. Our graduate programs emphasize interdisciplinary, transcultural, and cooperative learning while prioritizing professional growth. Engage in studies exploring cultural translation, translation history, literary translation, multilingual translation, and translation theory, recognizing that a scholarly approach to translation must be grounded in practical application.
