National surveys reveal that businesses seek the kinds of employees who graduate with a degree in modern languages – empathetic team players who think critically, communicate well, and solve complex problems.

Exploring connections across time, continents, and disciplines, our courses in culture, film, language, and literature train students to write, read, and speak in more than one language, interact with cultural competence, and participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world.

Our semester in Paris or Grenoble, France is a truly transformative experience, while our teaching license program leads directly to positions in the Commonwealth's schools. As a second major, a French degree pairs easily with programs in English, business, social work, and history.
