In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to speak more than one language is a valued asset and empowering skill. Studying the structure, history and development of language helps to create strong communicators with the skills to work in a multitude of professions. The Department of Languages, Literatures & Linguistics gives you the opportunity to study a new language in its cultural, social and literary contexts. You can also learn and explore the science behind human language.
We offer a range of undergraduate and graduate program options, language proficiency and professional certificates, as well as culture and language courses.
Read our Land Acknowledgment which recognizes the unique and enduring relationship of Indigenous people and their traditional territory.
Welcome to the Department of Languages, Literatures & Linguistics – a hub of culture and diversity.
