BA/BS in Languages and Culture

This is a Bachelor of Arts in Language and Culture at the University of Calgary, delivered through the Faculty of Arts.

The program builds language proficiency, intercultural capacity, research skills and the ability to synthesize knowledge across disciplines. Options include a co-operative work placement, an honours degree track involving in-depth study of a specific topic under faculty supervision, and study abroad opportunities. It suits students interested in developing proficiency in a specific language alongside its literary and cultural context, preparing graduates for careers in global affairs, translation or organizational diversity work, or for further study in graduate or professional programs.
