Global Languages & Cultures Department

Welcome to the Global Languages & Cultures Department (GLCD)!

LANGUAGE | CULTURE | TRAVEL 

GLCD offers language courses in ASL (American Sign Language), Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish. 

WE ARE committed to the teaching of languages, literature, and cultures as an indispensable part of a curriculum that aims to foster linguistic and communicative competence in order to compete in a highly interconnected world. By adhering to student-centered teaching, WE AIM to develop the skills and instill the values necessary for students to pursue life-long learning as essential to their personal and professional development. Most importantly, our courses can serve as a platform that allows students to see themselves as stewards of the rich linguistic and cultural landscape that characterizes Los Angeles and its surrounding areas.
