The Department of Modern Language and Literature prepares students for an international society in which multiple linguistic and cultural competencies are vital to personal and professional fulfillment. Through the serious study of the target language, which includes systematic teacher and learner evaluation of progress and mastery, students gain access to the breadth of cultural expression in literature, history, fine arts, philosophy, cinema, and contemporary business and social practices, as well as a deeper appreciation of their own language and culture.

All majors are required to take at least three additional term courses, beyond the Yale College foreign language requirement, in an ancient or modern foreign literature, in which the literature is read in the original language. One or more courses can be taken at the “basic” literature level (normally equivalent to the third year of language study); ... at least one course must be taken at the “advanced” level (normally equivalent to the fourth year of language study or higher). Students are encouraged to continue developing their foreign language skills by taking advanced language courses (at the L4 or L5 level) and may, if the Director of Undergraduate Studies so advises, substitute one such course for one of the three required foreign literature courses.
