We define culture broadly to include both the academic and the everyday. Guided by creative and enthusiastic faculty committed to language immersion, students explore topics ranging from literature and film to politics to cuisine.
Majors & minors
- French
- German Studies (minor only)
- Spanish
Other offerings
- Arabic
- Chinese
- Foreign Civilizations
- Italian
- Japanese
- Linguistics
- Literature
Today, students may study francophone literature; tomorrow, they may learn the idioms of contemporary French business-speak through e-mail conversations with students across the Atlantic. Field trips to immigrant neighborhoods like Chinatown and Pilsen allow students to meet and learn from native-speakers.
Because of our close ties to Chicago’s cultural institutions, students pursue internships with organizations like the Alliance Française and the Chicago Latino Film Festival.
We offer coursework in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish as well as occasional courses in Italian, and we strongly encourage language majors to study abroad.
