Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures
The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures is committed to leading students to intercultural competence by developing a deep understanding and appreciation for language, culture, and literature.
In this way, we prepare students to work collaboratively in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
