About the program
In addition to development in the four basic language skills — speaking, listening, reading, and writing — a major aim of the French, Spanish for Global Competence, Spanish Translation and Interpreting, and Critical Languages and International Studies program at University of Texas Arlington is to gain understanding of the diversity of human culture as represented in several of the world’s languages, literatures, and other cultural media.
Ultimately, these aims contribute to the development of well-rounded and well-informed 21st-century global citizens who are not only able to communicate and interact with others locally, nationally, and internationally, but who are also able to reflect on the world and themselves through the lens of other languages and cultures.
