What is Modern Language and Culture?

Speaking another language and understanding other cultures are of strategic importance in a world in which international collaboration is not only necessary for political survival, but also indispensable for economic success. The B.A. in Modern Language and Culture prepares graduates who are able to communicate effectively in one or more world languages and have a keen understanding of how humans interact across world cultures. Graduates will be familiar with current global issues and possess the knowledge, skills, and versatility needed to succeed academically and professionally in an ever-changing society.
MLC

The B.A. in Modern Language and Culture is designed to develop students’ communication skills and understanding of other cultures, and to foster respect for differences in a global society. Students choose one of seven primary languages - Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, or Spanish - in which they develop and refine language proficiency as well as cross-cultural competence. Students select one of four concentrations: Additional Language and Culture, Teacher Certification in World Languages, Applied Business, or Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives. In the course of their studies, Modern Language and Culture majors acquire and practice the communication skills and cultural competence necessary to function effectively in a global society. The curriculum prepares degree candidates for future academic programs and professional careers in which world language proficiency and cultural knowledge are desired, required, or both.
