Unlock the Door to a Multicultural Adventure
At Â鶹ÊÓƵ, language is more than a group of nouns, verbs, and pesky prepositions. It's a reflection of culture, countries, and communities around the world. Through a curriculum that emphasizes current events and puts language into cultural context, students become intercultural ambassadors who can speak about themselves and their world. The ability to communicate across cultures translates to careers in virtually any field and enables you to be the person that connects individuals, ideas, and international communities.
