European Languages

The Bachelor of Arts in European Languages, Literature and Film Studies curriculum builds upon existing UW language minors and established humanities coursework in French, German, and Spanish.

To critically investigate the idea of Europe, students will expand beyond their base language and learn about the complexities and interconnectedness of European cultures.

This open, pluralistic, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach will explore a wide range of fields, including language, literature, film, philosophy, linguistics, history, politics, ethics, popular culture, humanities and the performing and visual arts. Studying abroad also will be encouraged for all students in the program.

Students may chose a track in French, German, or Spanish.
