The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is dedicated to fostering a critical understanding of European and Latin American cultures in a global context. It offers courses and programs in German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish languages, literatures, thought, cinemas, and cultures, immersing students in the study of national traditions while encouraging transnational approaches and cultural plurality. At the forefront of developments in digital media and interdisciplinary studies, LLC offer courses in digital humanities and a broad variety of course that cross national boundaries.
The Department seeks to broaden undergraduate students’ liberal arts background. Its goal is to enable students to develop communicative skills in at least one target language and to provide critical tools to understand the complexities of other cultural traditions. The skills acquired are invaluable for careers in business, in government, in all the professions, in the media, as well as in cultural and literary fields.
The Department’s graduate programs in German, Hispanics, Italian, and Russian Studies offer a vibrant research environment, combining the rigor of traditional philological inquiry with a range of other theoretical and methodological approaches, many of them informed and/or creatively challenged by broader transnational and interdisciplinary perspectives. The department is committed to international standards of excellence in graduate student training.
