Program Summary

Learning to understand and speak more than one
language is considered an important part of a
broad liberal arts and sciences education. Many
universities encourage or require proficiency in a
foreign language for students seeking degrees.
Speaking another language can open the door to a
myriad of possibilities here and abroad.
