Open Classrooms - Drop into Language and Cultures around the World
- Have you been curious about other languages and cultures?
- Have you wondered what a class on literature, food, or film from Korea, Italy, or Germany is like?
- Wonder if you can strengthen your Major with a Minor in Chinese, French, or Arabic, but worried about course expectations?
- Have you thought about how business, race, politics, and the arts translate from one language and culture to the next?
- Do you want to more deeply engage with a language you already know and learn more about your heritage but are unsure what those classes will be like?
- Want to improve your Spanish or Portuguese or maybe learn more about Spanish and Portuguese in the world today?
Now is your chance to find out.
The language departments are opening classrooms up for you to drop in and visit from October 16 - 20.
No commitment required. No reason to ignore your curiosity. Let's answer some of your questions the best way possible - by spending some time in a class you want to know more about.
