In the Department of Languages, students are required to study abroad as part of their degree program. We view this remarkable academic opportunity as a core strength and a distinguishing characteristic of our majors.
As a College and Department, we consider ourselves to be global citizens committed to lifelong exploration and achievement, both abroad and at home. We require all of our students to integrate globally-focused experiences into their programs of study in order to build a vital core of self-awareness and understanding of different cultures.
Study abroad, international internships and service-learning open minds to new ways of thinking and learning through experiences. Navigating and adapting to unfamiliar environments; communicating across cultures; curiosity and questioning that lead to creative problem solving; these are all essential components of a 21st-century education that are enhanced by global experiences.
A degree in languages is not limited by geographic boundaries; the world is our campus.
Each student majoring in a language is required to study abroad. Language minors and those interested in learning more about a different culture have many opportunities to explore other countries as well. Because every program is different, the requirements and course prerequisites may vary. Please use the Pam Hendrix Center link to search for programs.
