The Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies is a groundbreaking initiative launched in 2020, uniting previous departments specializing in French and Francophone Studies, Germanic Languages, Italian, and Scandinavian disciplines. Our name's "transcultural" component highlights our common European heritage while broadening our scope to include viewpoints from creators and thinkers across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Americas. This inclusive approach enables deeper historical insights and more precise positioning of Europe's global interactions.
Although a degree in German, Germanic linguistics, or linguistics with a minor in German is preferred, the department accepts applicants with a variety of undergraduate backgrounds. Applicants with deficiencies in undergraduate preparation are considered but if admitted are required to take remedial courses, as recommended by the graduate adviser.
