The Department of Languages and Cultural Studies fosters teaching and research in modern and classical languages, literatures, and cultures at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Many courses in English translation also offer access to this field to students with a general interest in the languages of the world. The Department prepares students for post-graduate professional training, graduate study, and for a global market in which knowledge of other languages and cultures is increasingly essential. In addition, the Department promotes the training of secondary school language teachers in World languages through a program that conforms to the requirements in the New York State Regents Guidelines.

The University maintains numerous exchange programs during the academic year and in the summer in France, Germany, Italy and Russia. See the Study Abroad Office for further details.
