Overview

Key features

The goal of the major in Scandinavian Languages and Cultures is to provide the student with a broad, yet robust, knowledge of the languages, literatures and cultures of the Nordic countries. Our course offerings span five centuries, five countries and five languages.

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) students will have the unique opportunity to study the works of numerous Nobel Prize winning authors, view and interpret Scandinavian film spanning over a century, and become familiar with the history and folklore of these countries.

The student graduating with a B.A. in Scandinavian Languages and Cultures will have a high degree of language proficiency in one of the Scandinavian languages, will have a reading proficiency in two other Scandinavian languages, will have a broad knowledge of the development of print and media culture in the region (stretching back to the early medieval period) and will have a good command of the intellectual history of the region.
