Modern Languages and Literature
Through the study of languages and literature, the Modern Languages & Literature department at CBU engages students in the consideration of diverse ideas, cultures, and worldviews through a decidedly Christian lens. We seek to equip students to enter a variety of careers requiring critical and creative thought, excellence in written and oral communication, and a consideration of cultural influences and values. Our caring, experienced professors cultivate classroom experiences that challenge and inspire, preparing students to share their voices and their hearts in their community and around the globe.
