Bachelor of Arts in Languages and Culture

About this programme

The BA in Language and Culture will provide students with a solid training in focused language, literary, and cultural studies in one or two language areas (Arabic Language and Muslim Cultures, German, Italian, Russian), and complement these studies with core coursework in cross-linguistic, cross-cultural, and comparative studies. In bringing together courses and other learning experiences in these individual languages, literatures, and cultures with coursework that reaches across languages and cultures, students in the BA in Language and Culture will develop skills in language proficiency, intercultural capacity, research, and synthesis of knowledge. As a Language and Culture graduate, you'll be prepared for career opportunities in areas such as global affairs, translation, and within organizations looking to build diverse workplace teams that call for more substantive intercultural competence. A degree in Language and Culture can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree such as education, law, medicine, or veterinary medicine.
