The language courses that you will take as a major at the University of South Carolina have been designed by a professor trained in language-learning techniques, who is committed to integrating new media such as wikis, blogs and podcasts into basic courses. You will develop the language and cultural awareness skills necessary for work or study in German-speaking countries.
During your coursework, you will combine practice in reading, listening, speaking and writing about themes of general interest and about topics related to business and other professions. You will also be able to engage in a high degree of professor-student contact and develop a sense of belonging that can facilitate all other aspects of the learning experience.
The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures focuses on the teaching of foreign languages, their associated literatures and global culture. Students learn from native speakers, benefit from innovative Web-based programs where they interact directly with their peers in other countries and study with professors who have written the books they use in courses. The department of languages, literatures and cultures is one of the largest and most active in the College of Arts and Sciences.
