Global Language
Description
Studying global language, through level 3, students consider the nature and structure of their native language and reflect upon their own cultural norms while gaining functional linguistic proficiency in the language of study, as well as an appreciation of the cultures and worldviews represented.
Students are strongly encouraged to begin Global Language during their first year.
The University currently offers courses, through level 3, in 28 languages! Students can continue taking courses in the language they studied in high school or begin a new language. Please note that not all language courses are offered every semester or every year.
