Alongside their language major coursework, students should consider selecting complementary classes from other disciplines. These may encompass additional languages, history, philosophy, arts, business, and education. Department faculty advisors are available to help students shape their academic journey through personalized guidance. The World Languages and Cultures Department has three primary objectives: fostering humanistic understanding via foreign language, literature, and cultural studies; teaching languages as practical communication tools; and equipping students for scholarly pursuits and global business careers. Situated within a vibrant urban university in an increasingly international city, the department addresses the growing demand for language skills in government, corporate, and professional sectors. It emphasizes that fluency in foreign languages and deep cultural knowledge provide crucial foundations for advanced study across its programs.
