Preparation for Graduate Study

In This Section

Are you planning to go on for a graduate degree, medical or law school, or other advanced professional training?

Advanced degrees in most fields in the humanities require good knowledge of a foreign language. A minor or even a second major in Spanish or French is an ideal way to prepare yourself for this expectation - much better than the other option, which in most research universities is a "cramming" class followed by a comprehensive exam!


An advanced degree in foreign language can also be an ideal preparation for a career in the Foreign Service or other government posts, work in the international non-profit sector, a job in academia as a teacher or a professor, or a job on the front lines of international business.


Talk to one of our faculty today about the possibilities of post-graduate study and how foreign language can help you get where you want to be!
