Language and Cultural Studies transforms lives. Get equipped with the tools to communicate cross-culturally and succeed in an increasingly connected world!

Our students’ success is our first priority. With clearly-articulated learning outcomes for programs and courses, and frequent interaction with faculty both in and out of the classroom, students know what to do, where to go, and how to pull it all together. We build a foundation of trust in the classroom, whether in person or online, by creating lively spaces where students become comfortable making the mistakes that are a necessary part of the language learning process and free to express themselves in more complex ways.

We are dedicated to helping students develop the linguistic and cultural competence expected of informed global citizens.
