More Information About Our Graduate Programs
We pride ourselves in our ability to provide students with a truly interdisciplinary and international education and encourage our students to pursue a concentration in a second language pedagogy or work toward an interdisciplinary or multinational focus. We also encourage study abroad and international experiences.
Our students are an engaging and diverse group. Students in the Department of World Languages & Cultures organize the bi-annual Sego Conference that brings graduate student scholars together from across the Intermountain West. Our students also present at national and international conferences and have gone on to excellent doctoral programs and/or secured jobs in secondary as well as university education around the country. We encourage our students to view their education broadly and take interdisciplinary courses from International Area Studies, History, Ethnic Studies, and other areas.
