About the LLC: Languages, Literatures and Cultures at CSU combines the study of language with the understanding of culture to prepare our students to thrive in an increasingly diverse and globalized world. We help our students find their careers and their passions and educate future leaders, teachers, entrepreneurs, communicators, artists, and internationally-minded professionals.
In Languages, Literatures, and Cultures we offer undergraduate and graduate courses in nearly a dozen languages, including American Sign Language, Arabic, Korean, and Latin. The department awards a BA in Spanish, German, and French. We also offer Minors in Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and Italian, among others.
Many students across campus choose to supplement their primary major with one of our minors, thus diversifying their dossier for jobs in government, education, business, international work and many other professions.
Students wishing to pursue a career in teaching language may complete a teacher licensure to become certified K-12 teachers of the language in the state of Colorado, and will find guidance among the many faculty in Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.
