In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to speak more than one language is a highly valued commodity. In addition, the study of 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 an additional language, while learning about the culture and science behind human language.
