Bachelor of Science in EducationLearning is becoming, and languages are your key to becoming a
citizen of the world. There is deep satisfaction in knowing you can
communicate with millions outside your own country.
As a foreign language major, you may choose either the BA or the
BSEd degree in French, German, or Spanish. The BA means maximum
exposure to the language and is recommended if you are
planning to do graduate work. The BSEd, offered in cooperation with
the Department of Education, will prepare you for secondary-school
teaching.
By learning one or more foreign languages you can qualify-or
enhance your qualifications-for many challenging careers:
Teaching-Our nation needs outstanding foreign language teachers
and scholars in universities, colleges, and secondary schools.
Business-A major combining business and a foreign language
can lead to careers with multinational corporations, in international
banking or accounting, in hotel management, or in the export-import
business.
Government Service-Important jobs in the Armed Services, the
Department of State, the Department of Commerce, and the International
Communication Agency require proficiency in foreign languages.
You should, however, supplement your language preparation by
coursework in business management, economics, and communications.These areas by no means exhaust the possibilities. Journalists,
librarians, writers, researchers, doctors, nurses, police officers, social
workers, missionaries, and many others often find foreign language
skills essential.
The person who knows a foreign language has an added dimension.
Language expands and heightens the pleasure of travel, of good
literature, and of the arts. It fosters a sense of shared humanity.
Perhaps you will find these "intangible" benefits the most rewarding of
all.Planning a major
