The BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures (FLL) provides students with a comprehensive knowledge of a specific language (or languages) and advanced familiarity with the cultural practices and traditions associated with the language(s) of specialization. The major in FLL enhances critical thinking and communication skills and provides students with a cross-cultural understanding of our contemporary world. The program allows students the flexibility to explore a single or dual language specialization as well as the opportunity to study culture through interdisciplinary fields of critical concentration, such as Comparative Cultural Studies, Film and Visual Culture, Intensive Area Studies, Literary Studies, and Medieval and Early Modern Studies. A major in FLL offers an excellent basis for a variety of careers, including graduate study in an area of foreign language and culture and/or in the humanities and social sciences, as well as careers in education, international development, diplomacy and government, national security, communications, law, journalism, arts and culture, publishing, and global business. Participation in UF study-abroad programs or an approved UF program is highly encouraged.
Foreign Languages and Literatures Specializations
Dual Language Specialization
The Dual Language specialization of the Foreign Languages and Literature major offers students the opportunity to specialize in two of the languages offered by the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures (LLC). Students can combine any of the languages offered as specializations and/or they can combine any of these languages with a specialization in Haitian Creole or Vietnamese.
Students who choose this track will develop proficiency in two languages as well as acquire cultural knowledge of more than one language area. Dual language majors will be specially poised to make both broad and deep linguistic and cultural comparisons and to build cross-cultural and cross-linguistic connections, skills that will prepare them to operate and work in multi-lingual and multi-cultural societies as well as across various complex regions of the world. Further, dual language majors will be able to apply the language-learning skills gained in the study of one language of specialization to reinforce their acquisition of a second language of specialization.
In the Dual Language specialization, students will complete two years of study of a principal language of specialization and two years of study of a second language taught in LLC. Students will also complete advanced coursework in the languages, their literatures and cultures, as well as a critical concentration.
There are a number of possibilities inherent in the Dual Language major. The following are some potential paths of study:
- Dual Language: Haitian Creole with French and Francophone Studies
- Dual Language: Vietnamese with Chinese
Students interested in the Dual Languages specialization need to complete a custom program plan with the undergraduate coordinators of the two languages they select.
