The University of Utah’s CLCS program builds on the basis of in-depth coursework in one or two languages and literatures (taught in the original language) and a core group of theory and methodology classes (taught in English). As a CLCS student, you will explore themes across cultures and time periods, compare national literatures and cultures, learn and apply international literary and cultural theories, and analyze diverse types of texts (literary, visual, musical, etc.) produced in multiple cultural spheres. CLCS students have the option of choosing the Literature & Culture emphasis for the program.

The Student Experience

Students may enrich their academic experience by completing a study abroad program or an original undergraduate research project. Outside of the classroom, you can network and engage with fellow students by participating in some of the Second Language Teaching and Research Center’s (L2TReC) many language-related activities and events. Additional involvmenet opportunities include the Language Exchange Program, the Cross Culture Club, and the Student Advisory Committee for the Department of world Languages & cultures.
