Through its courses dedicated to the study of languages, literatures, and cultures, the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Miami offers you an exciting opportunity to engage in a learning experience aimed at developing global literacy. Global literacy (GL) is the ability to participate in sociocultural practices by both interacting with others in different languages and by creating, presenting, and interpreting ideas through oral and written texts in more than one language. Our faculty includes award winning researchers, scholars and teachers engaging with cultures and languages from the medieval period to the present, who also engage in the most exciting interdisciplinary theoretical debates. For more information, see our faculty members’ fields of study.
Whether you opt for a career in education, or in business, economics, law, medicine, politics, the arts, and the social sciences, our courses will enrich your life beyond your expectations as you acquire a deeper understanding of your own and of others' linguistic and cultural heritage.
