Students of World Languages and Literatures choose our program because they have a desire and passion to understand the world from more than one perspective.

Whether you are interested in the study of literature, the study of languages, or the study of both, our courses and instructors make it their mission to expand your cultural awareness through the study of global literary and linguistic traditions. Some students study World Literature as a major or a minor while others opt to add a language certificate to their credentials, still others take our classes to fulfil WQB requirements. Regardless of why you find yourself here, it is our goal to welcome you in joining us in the far-reaching inquiry into global diversity and the cultural and linguistic forces that shape this world.
