Coursework and Programs
Coursework in the Department of Global Languages and cultures develops your proficiency in all four communicative skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) and understanding of the dramatic effect cultural differences can have on communication. Grammar courses hone your ability to use the language with the kind of precision and polish that impresses. Literature and culture courses expand your understanding of the practices, products and perspectives that are unique to other cultures. Courses in translation and interpreting develop your ability to facilitate communication between speakers of different languages. And professionally-oriented courses provide you with industry-specific language and cultural training. We offer majors, minors, and certificates in the languages we teach, but all students are welcome to take courses that benefit their individual educational goals.
All Global Languages & Cultures students are strongly encouraged to participate in Shippensburg University's Study Abroad Program. Countries in which recent SHIP students have studied include Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Mexico, Peru and Spain.
