Modern Languages & Literatures

The Department of Modern Languages & Literatures provides students with transformative learning experiences through language instruction, internships, faculty-mentored research and study abroad opportunities. Our curriculum stands out for its expert instruction, guiding students from beginner to advanced levels of linguistic fluency while immersing them in international cultural studies. Your contribution helps us expand these opportunities, funding critical departmental needs such as student research, fieldwork and global study experiences.

Recent opportunities funded through generous contributions include the work our students have done in Madrid mapping Civil War memories, on the U.S.-Mexico Border studying issues of migration and human rights and on the St. Petersburg Research Project, where students do on-site cultural studies research.
