The Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages and Cultural Studies (MLCS) at the University of Alberta provides students with a rich educational experience that integrates language proficiency with cultural insight. The MLCS program is designed for students interested in languages, cultures, texts, and contexts. Students gain critical and analytical thinking, oral and written communication, cross-cultural knowledge, and research skills. The curriculum offers two routes: a Language Studies route focusing on advanced skills in one or more languages other than English, and a Cross-Cultural Studies route emphasizing studies across linguistic, literary, and cultural traditions. Courses are available in American Sign Language (ASL), Arabic, French, German, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian, and include comparative literature and cultural studies in English. Graduates are prepared for diverse careers including translation, teaching, journalism, international relations, foreign service, and business. Additional enrichment opportunities include certificates in Translation Studies, European Studies, and internships or exchange programs abroad. 来源： https://www.ualberta.ca/en/linguistics/graduate/admissions.html
