The Department of 现代语言s at Nebraska Wesleyan University prepares students to engage in a diverse and changing world through the study of languages, literatures and cultures. Recognizing that the study of language is central to the experience of a liberal arts education, the Department of 现代语言s serves the entire student body through the 拱门的课程 and its Major and Minor programs. 在每个层面上, students develop skills in listening, 阅读, 说话, 和写作, equipping them to communicate with global competence.

现代语言 Studies at NWU:
The study of language and cultures is central to the humanities and vital to students as they prepare for professional careers in a globally interconnected society. The Department of 现代语言s offers a broad curriculum with courses in language, culture and literature, supported by interdisciplinary collaboration with departments and programs across the university and through study abroad opportunities.

The 现代语言 Studies Major and 现代语言 Literacy Minor encourage students to delve deeply into language and cultural study. Beginning with a focus on literacy by developing skills to read, 写, and communicate effectively in the language of concentration, our majors and minors study in disciplines that are complementary disciplines such as History, 语言学, 政治科学, Communication Studies, 和人类学. By approaching language and cultural studies through an interdisciplinary lens, our goal is to cultivate educated speakers of foreign languages with intercultural competence.

Language Placement: Students with prior language study may qualify for placement at advanced levels through assessment results and/or other criteria that the department determines relevant.
