Why Study a Language?

The study of languages connects you with our shared human experience across borders often lost in translation.

9 out of 10 U.S. Employers rely on employees with language skills other than English. 56% of employers say their foreign language demand will increase in the next five years. (Lead with Languages)

Language learning promotes dialogue, encourages tolerance and adaptability, and stimulates social change.

In a world that's more connected than ever, being fluent in multiple languages and understanding diverse cultures opens the door to exciting global careers. By studying Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, you’ll gain not only language proficiency but also a deep appreciation for the cultural stories that shape our world.
