Culture and Language Studies
Globalization, democratization, rapidly changing technology and post-colonial forces continually transform our complex and interconnected world, demanding of each of us to respond to new challenges and opportunities. The Department of Culture and Language Studies welcomes students of all disciplines to join us as we seek to increase our understanding of diverse cultures, expand our competence in foreign languages, and investigate the impact of as well as the creative potential contained in established and emerging media technologies.
