The School of Language & Literature at The University of Tulsa offers World Language courses in Chinese, French, German, Greek, Latin, Russian, and Spanish at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. Beginning and intermediate courses are primarily language-based. More advanced courses are designed for students to acquire insights into world cultures through films, literature, linguistics, and journalistic analyses of current events. To know which level best suits the language proficiency of entry students, an online placement test helps avoid unnecessary courses.
Because of the university’s commitment to interdisciplinary education, students can combine a major in a specific field of study with a major or minor in a world language. Ultimately, interdisciplinary degrees prepare students to better compete in an increasingly global workplace. Majors and minors in a world language can combine their coursework to study abroad.
