Overview

Three language and culture options are available. You can choose to earn a French degree, Spanish degree or German degree. Your choice will determine your classes.

All students studying language and culture can take these popular courses at the University of Central Missouri:

World Literatures in Translation: Examine how original literature is changed in translation due to intellectual and social forces.

Cross-Cultural Cinema: Using literature and films, you’ll explore topics such as culture, globalization, migration and social justice.

Prior language experience may place you beyond elementary-level classes in pursuit of your Modern Languages degree. We offer placement exams in French, German and Spanish. If you’ve earned the Seal of Biliteracy, you may qualify to get credit for beginning and intermediate language and culture courses.
