Department of Languages, Literature and Mass Communication

You will discuss challenging literary texts, learn a new language or two, write engaging and insightful stories and poems and share your ideas using video, radio, TV and print. At our core, we believe in the power of language to teach, amuse, move and inspire.

We sometimes forget that a degree that focuses on language means you will acquire a set of skills and abilities that prepare you for more than the familiar humanities-oriented careers. You will learn to organize ideas, assert and defend claims and research. Employers will value your ability to solve problems and present ideas in effective language in a variety of modes to a wide range of audiences. You will think critically, having learned to weigh evidence, identify assumptions, evaluate persuasive appeals and recognize faulty reasoning. Employers want smart, flexible and creative employees, all hallmarks of a Colorado Mesa University graduate in Languages, Literature and Mass Communication.

You will enjoy small classes, state of the art classrooms, and opportunities to apply what you learn in real-world situations. Above all, you will encounter exceptional faculty. You will learn from Fulbright scholars, award-winning teachers, editors, poets, storytellers, critics, videographers, journalists, audio-engineers, TV producers and PR experts. You will notice how open and willing our professors are to help you in and out of the classroom. That desire to help students is what our students appreciate the most.
