Languages (Option)

The Option in Languages allows students to combine a range of modern, ancient, and/or Indigenous language courses as a complement to a major in major discipline. Students may start all languages without any background or may, where courses are available, take intermediate- or advanced-level courses.

An option is a “mini-minor” – a set of courses in one discipline that can be completed in conjunction with any undergraduate degree program, allowing you to focus on an additional subject of interest.
