The overall goal of the Department of Languages
and Culture Studies (LCS) at the University
of North Carolina at Charlotte is to develop and enrich
language skills, critical thinking, and cultural understanding,
so that we can better understand and communicate with
the diverse and complex world around us. The LCS Faculty
and Staff have designed its programs to develop communicative
abilities in languages other than English and to provide
insights into foreign cultures through the study of
language, culture, and literature. The Department offers
a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Spanish, a Master
of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in French and German, the
undergraduate Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree with majors
in French, German, and Spanish, and minors in French,
German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Western Antiquity
and Classical Languages (Greek and Latin).
Certificates are offered in Translating and Translation
Studies and in Business Language. Chinese, Italian,
and Portuguese are offered regularly through the intermediate
level of instruction. Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, and other
languages are offered on demand.
Students interested in foreign language study are encouraged
to explore the options of a single major in French,
German or Spanish; a double major in a foreign language
and another discipline or in two languages; a foreign
language minor; a concentration in one or more languages
to complement a major in another academic area; or a
concentration of courses leading to a Certificate in
Translating or a Certificate in Business Language. All
students are encouraged to study abroad.
