This program is designed for students who wish to acquire linguistic, cultural, and literary skills in one or two foreign languages. Instead of a second language, they may choose from among four interdisciplinary area studies tracks. This program prepares students for graduate school in foreign languages or for employment in the fields of travel and tourism, media and entertainment, diplomacy, teaching, and public service.
