Through our program, you will learn to interpret, critique, and connect powerfully in English, as well as in your concentrated language, whether your focus is Chinese, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish. Our courses emphasize the development of strong written and oral communication skills, the critical examination of written and visual cultural artifacts, and persuasive argumentation. Through mastery of other languages and cultures, our students gain a new sense of their place in the world and a greater ability to navigate it successfully.

As a student engaging in this interdisciplinary approach, you can study away in a faculty-led program, travel as part of a May Experience, or immerse yourself in our unique, on-campus language house program facilitated by a native speaker in residence.
