Faculty of Language, Literature and Performing Arts
Study Abroad in Wales!
The Faculty of LLPA regularly takes part in study abroad programs. This May/June 2012 semester some of our Faculty and students will attend a term at University of Wales, Trinity, St. David (Carmarthen, Wales). Visit Study Abroad in Wales to learn more about this exciting opportunity.
Many of the greatest delights in life come from language, literature, and the performing arts.
You probably already know that fact. You've spoken another language -- perhaps only a few words -- and you realized that it opened you up to other people and cultures. You've read something compelling that changed your life. It could have been a novel, or a poem, or even an elegantly crafted letter. And you've acted in a theatrical production or three, played a musical instrument, and written a few lines yourself.
All these artistic and cultural experiences can be enhanced and enjoyed through studies in the Faculty of Language, Literature and the Performing Arts. What's more, our courses and programs are intensely practical, resulting in improved critical thinking, better communication, and stronger performance abilities.
