European Languages Major

Modern & Classical 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 expand beyond their base language and learn about the complexities and interconnectedness of European cultures. This multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach explores 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 is encouraged for all students in the program.
