Multiple Languages for History Majors
The UWL History department strongly encourages students to take courses in multiple languages. In an increasingly interconnected world, knowledge of languages other than English is and will continue to be an advantage. For those who ever wish to do research on the history or any other aspect of other societies at the graduate level and beyond, knowledge of corresponding languages is almost always requisite. Furthermore, those considering careers in government (especially diplomacy), business, the military, international law, the travel and tourism industry, or journalism - as well as individuals concerned with human rights, labor, and peace activism - will almost certainly find knowledge of multiple languages useful if not necessary.
Consult the Department of Global Cultures and Languages for their multiple language and certificate options.
