Major in a language for your future

Want to see the world differently and connect with people on a whole new level?  As a language major, you’ll dive into immersive programs that help you master speaking and writing, all while exploring rich cultural stories—from classic literature to contemporary global media.  Learning another language isn't just a hard skill—it’s your ticket to traveling more, thinking smarter and making meaningful connections that really matter.

Follow your passions—whether you’re into ancient art, social psychology or international industry—and pair them with courses that build real-world competence and confidence.  Learn how collaborative problem solving can take your ideas further.  Sharpen your ability to communicate clearly and think like a leader.  Combine the practical relevance of language skills and intercultural knowledge with today's approaches to research and prepare to take on the world—wherever you want to go.
