All of our students take a language through the third year of college instruction, and most of our students pursue this study through a semester or a year abroad.

Elliott School courses span the world’s regions and issues. Our programs include bachelor’s degrees in international affairs, Middle East studies, Asian studies, Latin American and hemispheric studies and a wide range of secondary fields of study.
