WELCOME

Faculty in the Department of Romance, German & Slavic Languages & Literatures at The George Washington University carry out research in a wide range of literary, cultural, and linguistic scholarly fields. We offer dozens of language, culture, and literature courses in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish to hundreds of students every semester. Most of our courses are taught in the original language; some are in English. Our teaching fosters critical thinking, reading, speaking, and writing within and across cultures and histories.
