Undergraduate

The World Languages & Cultures (WLC) department is home to a variety of majors and minors in world languages, as well as Global Studies, Translation and Interpreting Studies, and Comparative Literature. With degree offerings in Arabic, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish, our curriculum spans every inch of the globe.

Pursuing a double-major or minor in a world language compliments any major at UWM. Whether you’re studying business, health sciences, engineering, or the arts, a language minor can give you a competitive advantage in our global economy.
