Modern Languages - New DegreesThe new graduate-level intercultural degree programs offered by the Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Modern Languages was recently featured in a New York Times article entitled “Do You Speak My Language? You Should.”
Excerpt:
Some universities have restructured programs to emphasize the ability to work, socialize and research across languages, offering dual degrees in which students’ language education is directly tied to its application in their other fields of study. Georgia Tech, for example, has devised programs aimed at developing language skills that allow them to work more effectively in, and to be more attractive to, international companies and organizations. The University of Rhode Island is offering a program “for students looking to become truly global engineers,” which combines a foreign language degree with one in engineering.
The School of History and Sociology is a unit of the Georgia Tech Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.
