By majoring in languages and intercultural studies (LIS), you can choose one of two concentrations: Hispanic Studies or Multiple Languages. The Multiple Language concentration allows you to combine the study of any of the seven languages offered in the department (Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and German) while emphasizing one language of your choice.  In addition, you can minor in French, German, Languages and Intercultural Studies, or Spanish. Each of these concentrations provides you with critical awareness of the cultures associated with those languages, proficiency in the languages studied, and oral and written skills for communicating in a variety of contexts, including working with multinational businesses and agencies.
