About us
Wayne State's Department of Classical and Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures is a network of academic programs focused on developing students' cultural literacy through in-depth study of languages and cultures. Cultural literacy encompasses our department's three core content areas: languages, literatures, and cultures. This can include studying fields such as history, civilization, politics, the environment, film or linguistics.
Our mission
To prepare students to be engaged global citizens and to live and work in our diverse local communities and an increasingly interconnected world by helping them to develop a knowledge base and skills in classical and modern languages, linguistics, and intercultural competencies and to deepen their understanding of cultures, histories, institutions and literatures from across the globe.
