Welcome Message from Chair Stacey Katz Bourns
Welcome to the Department of World Languages and Cultures!
Learning another language is a deeply rewarding, exciting, and transformative experience. Our courses, minors, and majors allow you to develop linguistic proficiency while also giving you the opportunity to explore the culture(s) of the people who speak other languages. The language skills and intercultural understanding that you acquire will open up the world to you in ways that you may never have imagined.
Please contact any of our language coordinators regarding information about the language(s) that you would like to study. They can also tell you more about our
- classes
- minors and majors
- Dialogues of Civilization and study abroad options
- service-learning opportunities
- conversation tables and other extracurricular programs
- national honor societies.
Our faculty can also share their own stories about how they themselves became multilingual and multicultural, revealing how doing so has enriched their lives.
We are here to guide you on your journey and look forward to meeting you!
