Department of Intercultural Studies

In the Department of Intercultural Studies, students learn about a broad range of the world’s cultures, studying everything from literature and history to politics and economics. We also offer language courses in eight languages so that students can obtain the skills necessary for cross-cultural learning. Students gain a deep cultural understanding through an extensive examination of the world's cultures and by reflecting on their own culture. Intercultural understanding is in demand across many fields, and our faculty helps students become knowledgeable about and sensitive to a wide range of cultures.
