Modern Languages and Literatures

We will prepare you for success in a globalized world. Whether your interests include local or international business, cultural and linguistic enrichment or graduate study, foreign or federal service, non-governmental work or education, medical professions or social work, we offer major and minor programs that will strengthen your academic and professional profile. We can help you combine specialized language training with interdisciplinary programs of study, and we work with many students to pair one of our majors with another major, from neuroscience to English.
