Understanding different cultures, combined with proficiency in a non-native language, forms a crucial part of a well-rounded liberal arts education. Beyond language classes, this department provides an extensive selection of literature and cultural studies courses taught in both English and other languages. Those with existing language skills can pursue higher-level classes to deepen their appreciation of these humanistic traditions, and such course sequences may serve as valuable elements in interdisciplinary focuses, minors, or dual-degree programs that enhance a student's main area of study. Courses taught through translation introduce learners to foundational Western and Asian texts, as well as contemporary cultures from Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean region.
