Welcome! Willkommen! Bonjour! ¡Hola! Konichiwa!
The Department of International Languages and Cultures at Webster University is recognized for its diverse curriculum, outstanding faculty, and international course offerings. Students in this department receive a strong liberal arts education and excellent career preparation for a global job market, because they acquire language skills as well as an international understanding and perspective, and apply that knowledge in today's world. The more complete "world view" students have, the better prepared they are to meet the challenges of the future. In addition, students develop invaluable skills in reading, writing, public speaking, and critical thinking. We offer a variety of courses, such as evening courses, weekend courses, exchanges with Argentina and France, and internships in China, Germany, Mexico and Japan through Webster University’s International Business Internship Exchange.

NOTE: All courses for the minor must be taken at Webster University. Courses completed with a grade of C- or below do not count toward
fulfilling the requirements for a minor –
Our ‘Recognition Credit program’ also counts toward the major and minor:
1) Students take a placement test in Academic Resources (Loretto Hall) to be placed in the appropriate course, then
2) pay a $10 fee with our departmental representative in Webster Hall 334, and register as a ‘recognition credit’ student.
3) Students receive credit for courses leading up to the course they’ve taken if they pass the course with a ‘B’ or better, up to 12 credit hours
