Have You Considered Getting a Language Certificate?

One of the most frequent questions we get in Psyc Advising is: What classes should I take? We designed the Psychology degree to be flexible, with plenty of elective credits. Many students choose to add another major, a minor, or a certificate to satisfy those elective course requirements. In our increasingly global world, up to 90% of employers give hiring preference to applicants who are bilingual or have at least some ability to speak another language. In addition, 77% of employers value experience working with people from different backgrounds. Learning a language is a great way to get that experience. 

If you are looking to fill some of your elective requirements this Summer, consider taking a language. A complete listing of Summer offerings in the Department of World Languages can be found here. Class options are highlighted in yellow and labs in grey. To learn more about earning a certificate or a minor in World Languages, go here.
