The mission of the Department of Languages and Cultures at Utah Valley University is to prepare students to interact effectively in a global community by acquiring competent communicative skills, and developing sensitivity toward cultural differences. By engaging with linguistic and cultural artifacts such as history, literature, and contemporary social structures and systems, language and culture students learn to think critically and behave ethically as they mature in linguistic and cultural literacy. This department prepares students to enter the global work force, further graduate studies and enjoy lifelong enrichment.
Utah Valley University has given me all of the options and resources that I needed to become successful. While pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Deaf Studies and a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, under the department of Languages and Cultures, I received the opportunity to help others as a student tutor of American Sign Language. This allowed me to refine my own skills and knowledge of a language that I love most! We have a special faculty here in the department of Languages and Cultures. To my surprise, upon graduation, I was asked to be an Adjunct Teacher for American Sign Language. No matter what your ambitions, goals, and dreams are, the department of Languages and Cultures is ready to help you achieve them!
