Department of World Languages and Literature
The goal of UNO's Department of World Languages and Literature is to provide students with the linguistic and cultural proficiency required of a global education.
Proficiency in foreign languages and world cultures are crucial assets in a world that is increasingly interdependent and interconnected by global media and markets. Graduates with foreign language skills and international understanding are better prepared to participate and succeed in the global marketplace.
Our Foreign Languages Major will help you become a more globally engaged and cross-culturally aware citizen.
In this installment of Access the Experts, Dr. Steven Torres, professor and department chair of foreign language and literature at UNO, answers the question: “What’s the best and/or most useful language to learn?”
