Looking for BA-level programs in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, or Italian?

Arabic • 中文 • Français • Deutsch • Italiano

These programs are now offered under the new World Languages and Cultures (WLC) major. After studying models and best practices at peer institutions nationwide, we have consolidated the formerly separate BA programs into a new major where students choose one of five 30-credit-hour concentrations.

The WLC major continues to emphasize linguistic proficiency and cultural depth while introducing greater flexibility and a strong career-readiness component. At MLLL, we are committed to evolving to meet the needs and aspirations of our students for a truly global education.
