Speak languages. Will travel.
The unifying thread across our curriculum and research is the study of difference, through which we learn to connect with other cultures and build commonalities and communalities.
Welcome to our community of scholars, researchers, educators, writers, poets, theorists, humanists, linguists, social scientists, cultural critics, historians, translators, interpreters, businesspeople, leaders of study abroad programs, philosophers, critical thinkers, and cultural ambassadors.
We work to foster the creative and transformative synergies that can emerge. We seek to overcome monoculturalism and monolingualism in the classroom and in the community. We do this for our students, for our community, and for ourselves.
Our mission prioritizes two key values of the College of Arts and Sciences and the wider university mission: to embrace excellence and to serve as a cultural resource for the wider Nebraska community.
Engage in experiences that expand your worldview through our Kawasaki Reading Room, the Language Lab, and the Spanish Tutoring and Writing Center.
