Students who study global cultures and languages have a variety of opportunities to immerse themselves in the languages and cultures of their interest. On campus many language sections offer students language clubs or conversation groups to practice speaking and contribute to a community of like-minded learners. French and Spanish students with excellent GPAs can participate in honor societies.
