Modern Languages

The world is rapidly changing. Technological advances have made the distance and barriers between peoples and cultures smaller. In business, education, the arts, science, medicine, politics and countless other areas, the necessity of effective international and intercultural communication is growing.

As a language student at the University of Indianapolis, you can learn to communicate in French, German, or Spanish. Our comprehensive modern language program combines technical and grammatical study of each language with an in-depth examination of its culture and literature.

Our internationally diverse population will provide you with unlimited opportunities to converse with native speakers of many languages. The University of Indianapolis has a strong international focus, with satellite campuses in Cyprus and Greece and international relationships with sister schools in China and Taiwan. Our international student body has grown to include students representing more than 60 nations.

We want to help you become a competent communicator in whatever language you choose. To perfect your mastery of a language and culture, we'll provide you with the opportunity to participate in international travel and study courses during our Spring Term. In the past five years, our students have traveled to the Caribbean, France, Germany, Mexico, and Spain. We also offer several cooperative programs with other colleges and universities.

Upon graduation, you'll be well prepared for a variety of careers. Many of our students have enjoyed success as language teachers at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels. Others have pursued careers in business. You'll also have a strong academic background that will serve you well should you decide to enter graduate school.

• majors and minors in French, German, and Spanish
