Welcome to the School of World Languages and Cultures

The School of World Languages and Cultures (SWLC), part of UVM’s College of Arts and Sciences, unites scholar-teachers and students to explore how language is intertwined with all facets of life. Focusing not just on language learning but also on the study of linguistics and the literature and cultures of the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, we prepare you to engage with a diverse, globalizing, and ever-changing world. Our renowned faculty will train you for professional success in an exciting range of global careers by preparing you to communicate across languages, cultures, and time periods to explore problems and issues from different perspectives.

In our interconnected world, the School demonstrates UVM’s foundational commitment to global engagement and exploration, bringing together teachers and learners of different languages to create a single, powerful voice. Won’t you join us?
