The Department of Culture and Language Studies welcomes students of all disciplines to participate in the quest for cultural literacy and multilingual communication.

Globalization, democratization, and post-colonial forces continue to powerfully shape our increasingly complex and interconnected world, requiring each one of us to respond to new challenges and opportunities by increasing our understanding of diverse cultures and our competence in foreign languages.

The Department of Culture and Language Studies houses a variety of specialists in languages, literatures, and cultures. We are dedicated to the teaching of cultural literacy, which can best be achieved through the long-term development of linguistic competence and the study of literary and social texts. In the spirit of diversity and understanding, we are committed to our students, to the exploration of innovative teaching and research modes that draw upon common interests among our languages and disciplines, and to the strengthening of our links to the greater academic community and the community at large.

The Department of Culture and Language Studies offers the following academic programs: German (Minor, Major, Honours); German Studies (Minor, Major); Linguistics (double Major, joint Honours); Russian and Eurasian Studies (Minor, Major); Spanish (Minor, Major, Honours); and World Literature and Culture Studies (Major, Honours). The Department also offers courses in Japanese and Chinese.
