Bienvenidos al Departamento de Lenguas y Literatura
Welcome to the Department of Languages and Literature
Mission Statement
The primary mission of the Department of Language and Literature is to meet the education and research related needs of the diverse cultural populations of the region by exploring global languages and literatures. The department provides life-long learning opportunities in English and Spanish to students of all ages and serves as the literary and cultural center for the region.


Undergraduate Programs
Language and Literature offers two undergraduate programs: English and Spanish. Both programs provide students with essential professional skills like critical and analytical thinking, cultural awareness, communication, research, etc. just to name a few.
After graduation, our students have lots of different career options to choose from, such as, teaching, publishing, advertising, content development, technical writing, public relations, and many more.

Graduate Programs
The MA in Cultural Studies program offers students a unique opportunity to pursue an English or Spanish concentration or both.
Recognizing that many of our students need the benefit of a flexible schedule, the program allows you to complete your degree in a hybrid (face-to-face and online) format or by taking your courses completely online. Again, because you may be looking at a terminal degree or you may have plans for further studies, you can opt for either a Non-thesis option (with more courses and a final exam) or a Thesis option.
English Language Training Center
The mission of the English Language Training Center is to offer, within an English-speaking environment, the training in English language skills which will help participants achieve their academic, personal, and social goals. More Info
