CHOOSE A CAREER THAT WILL TAKE YOU FAR
The ability to communicate in more than one language and an awareness of other cultures and societies can open a wide range of career prospects and lead to higher salaries.
Among the fields where graduates with a BA in World Languages, emphasis in French, Global Studies, or Spanish might find jobs are:
- Government (including as foreign service officer, national security agent, interpreter, immigration officer, congressional or legislative aide, social worker)
- Business (including areas such as international trade, international financial services, public relations, travel and tourism)
- Media (including in Hispanic media in the US or as international reporter)
- Non-Profit Organizations (including United Nations, Peace Corps, churches)
- Education (including as international student advisor or university professor [with further graduate training])
The BSE in World Languages, emphasis in French or Spanish, prepares students for careers in public school education (teaching these languages or English as a Second Language).
Many degree programs can be paired with a second major or a minor in World Languages. Combine that with study abroad opportunities and internships and you will greatly increase your marketability compared to other job candidates.
