The Department of 语言, 文化, and Linguistics seeks to help students:
- 理解和欣赏 the rich diversity of world languages and cultures, both ancient and modern.
- Achieve communicative proficiency, both productive and receptive, in languages other than 英语.
- Cultivate an appreciation for world literature(s) in order to deepen the study of languages and cultures.
- Understand the structure of language through the study of linguistics.
The languages offered at SPU include Chinese, French, Greek, Latin, and Spanish. We also offer an “Academic 英语 for Success” class to support international students with their 英语 skills.
