About Languages, Literatures, and Cultures
About Languages, Literatures, and Cultures
The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is dedicated to fostering a critical understanding of European and Latin American cultures in a global context. It offers courses and programs in German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish languages, literatures, thought, cinemas, and cultures, immersing students in the study of national traditions while encouraging transnational approaches and cultural plurality.
The Department seeks to broaden undergraduate students’ liberal arts background. Its goal is to enable students to develop communicative skills in at least one target language and to provide critical tools to understand the complexities of other cultural traditions. The skills acquired are invaluable for careers in business, in government, in all the professions, in the media, as well as in cultural and literary fields.
LLC programs in German, Hispanic, Italian, and Russian Studies offer a vibrant research environment, combining the rigour of traditional philological inquiry with a range of other theoretical and methodological approaches, many of them informed and/or creatively challenged by broader transnational and interdisciplinary perspectives. The Department is committed to international standards of excellence in student training.
Students who envision graduate studies upon completion of the B.A. are strongly advised to pursue a program of Honours or Joint Honours (Honours students must submit their thesis by March 15). Although the Major and Minor concentrations form an important part of the multi-track B.A. in Arts, this general degree does not provide the specialized training called for by most graduate programs in the humanities and social sciences.
Students may need to obtain Departmental approval to register for language courses and are strongly urged to consult with the Department for advice/approval of their program plans. A placement test is available and may be booked before the start of term with the Language Adviser of the respective area of study. Please visit the Advising section of our web site at: www.mcgill.ca/langlitcultures.
Students may begin at the intermediate or advanced level in their first year if they have taken approved courses in high school or in CEGEP or through Â鶹AV Summer Studies. Please consult with our advisers for more information.
The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures offers undergraduate programs and concentrations, which permit students to pursue a variety of intellectual and pre-professional options.
