Understanding different cultures, combined with proficiency in a second language, forms a crucial part of a well-rounded liberal arts education. Beyond language classes, this department provides diverse literature and cultural studies courses taught in both English and other languages. Advanced learners can enroll in higher-level classes to deepen their appreciation of these cultural traditions, with such course sequences potentially forming key elements of interdisciplinary focuses, minors, or dual degrees that enhance a student's main area of study. Courses taught through translation introduce students to foundational Western and Asian texts, as well as contemporary cultures from Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean region.
