Boost your career prospects by pairing a language with your major
Increase your marketability with future employers by combining a language with another course of study. For example, you can double major in political science and Arabic, or engineering and German.
Or add a language minor to any of the following areas:
- Business
- Healthcare
- Hospitality or Tourism
- Journalism
- Law
- Information Technology or other technology fields
- Public Affairs or Political Science
- Social Work and Counseling
Some Indiana colleges offer “language for specific purposes” courses such as Spanish for the Health Professions and Business German.
Consider these majors and minors for an international focus
- Geography
- International Studies
- International Business
- Anthropology
- Area/Country Studies
