A World of Possibilities
Learn a new language. Learn a new culture. Studying with us is the first step to removing boundaries and pushing limits. Become a student of the world.
Our mission is to help students not only become proficient in a foreign language, but to think critically about the world and immerse themselves in new cultures. We’ll encourage you to travel, study abroad, conduct research and embrace diversity.
By studying in NC State's Department of World Languages and Cultures, you won’t just learn about different ways of life. You’ll live them!


Congrats, 2022 Graduates and Award Recipients!
You are the bright future of a global society. Our department can't wait to see how you continue to think and do.
