What the college says

You enjoy communicating with others. You want to learn more about other cultures, including films, TV and literature. You might like to work abroad in the future. You wish to increase your employability: language specialists usually get preference over other candidates of identical ability who don’t have a language. Whatever you decide to do as a career, it is highly likely that you will one day find yourself working for a multinational company or for a firm with connections abroad: in Germany or Austria. The demand by companies for executives, management, scientists and sales people to be multilingual is ever increasing. Employers say they want people with skills such as engineering, law, chemistry, etc, who can also speak a foreign language.
