Language is the embodiment of culture and an expression of a people's way of thinking, feeling, and viewing the world. We have an increasing need to communicate directly with other peoples to achieve mutual understanding. Learning a new language opens new avenues of thought, new modes of expression, and new models of understanding. The study of foreign languages and literatures liberates the student from the confines of one culture.
 

The Foreign Languages & Literatures department and the offices of all department faculty members are located on 6th floor of the Gruening building.

Italian (ITAL), Arabic (ARAB) and American Sign Language (ASLG) courses at UAF are offered through the Tanana Valley Campus -- please contact TVC for more information about those classes.
