Career Outlook 

Career options for graduates with a major or minor in modern languages include the following fields: teaching, social work, nursing, engineering, business, communications, government, journalism, travel industry, translation, and research.  Our graduates have been especially successful when they combine advanced study in a modern language with another major.  They are then able to add proficiency in a foreign language and culture to their knowledge and skills in another specialty. Experience with world cultures makes our graduates more adaptable and better prepared to meet the challenges of a global and increasingly diverse job market.  

Intensive courses in French and Spanish, are offered during the summer. French, and Spanish are offered in the evening as well. Students can satisfy the foreign language requirement in additional languages: Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Ancient and Modern Greek.
