Why Study Intercultural Communication?

The Master's in Intercultural Communication program equips students with the skills to access and thrive in a range of careers, including law, journalism, business, education, health care, banking, social work, management, international administration, and many others in the public and private sectors.

In an increasingly interdependent world, the study of languages and cultures, including the heritage languages and cultures of immigrants to the United States, is a fundamental part of every student’s education. Knowledge of at least one foreign language and familiarity with different societies equip university graduates for more intelligent choices as citizens of today’s world and enhance their effectiveness in a range of career fields

The Department of Modern Languages, Linguistics and Intercultural Communication (MLLI) offers a program leading to an M.A. in Intercultural Communication. Students focusing on French and Francophone, Hispanic, and Russian studies participate in the program in the Languages and Cultures concentration. Heritage speakers and students with an extensive background in a different culture participate in the program in the Cultures and Diversity concentration. Undergraduate students can enroll in an Accelerated BA/MA program and take three courses at a graduate level and count them both towards the BA and the MA Degree.
