Why Choose CSUF Modern Languages
and Literatures
When we explore different languages, we open the door to understanding how other cultures and communities think and see the world. This helps us look at our own cultural beliefs with fresh eyes and lays the groundwork for being global citizens. Our students not only learn to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds, but they also learn to think critically about traditions, linguistics and sociocultural contexts.
In addition to helping students learn new languages, we provide them with opportunities to put their skills into practice. Our students implement their speaking skills in conversational settings, conduct and present research in different languages, and land internships at public and private institutions.
