Your four years at Notre Dame are the best chance you’ll have to approach fluency in another language — and the benefits will last a lifetime.
Studying a language improves your memory, increases your attention span, and sharpens your thinking. It opens up a world of research possibilities, study abroad opportunities, and travel destinations. It also makes you more marketable — demand for bilingual talent has more than doubled over the past decade.
Arts & Letters has everything you need to prepare for success — no matter where you chart your course.
Hear from Notre Dame students about why they chose to major in a language, the opportunities it unlocked for them, and the difference it will make in their future.
Notre Dame’s Globally Engaged Citizens program rewards the learning and experiences you are already engaging in — and will stand out on your resume and show employers and graduate schools that you’re prepared to be a global citizen.
There is room in any Notre Dame student’s schedule to become a GEC — all that’s required is two courses, participation in a range of intercultural experiences, and completion of an easy-to-make ePortfolio.
