Foreign Languages Cultures and Literatures - Bard College

Foreign Languages Cultures and Literatures from Bard College is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. At Bard, the study of a foreign language provides students with the opportunity to acquire a critical appreciation of foreign cultures and literatures in addition to language skills. Integral to the process is the mastery of the foreign language and the use of this mastery in the study of written texts?not only literature, but also texts from such fields as philosophy, history, and theology?and of nonverbal expressions of culture such as art history, music, and cinema. Languages currently taught at Bard include * Arabic, * Chinese, * French, * German, * Hebrew, * Italian, * Japanese, * Russian, * Spanish, * ancient Greek, * Latin, and * Sanskrit. Bard maintains a state-of-the-art language facility, the Center for Foreign Languages and Cultures. Most of the languages taught through the Foreign Languages , Cultures, and Literatures Program (FLCL) offer an intensive immersion format that allows students to complete the equivalent of two years of language study within just a few months. Such courses include a one- or two-month summer or winter program in a country of the target language. After studying abroad, students demonstrate an impressive increase in linguistic capacity. They have also gained cultural knowledge, and the exposure to different manifestations of cultural activity alerts them to the interrelatedness of diverse disciplines.
