“To prosper economically and to improve relations with other countries, Americans need to read, speak, and understand other languages. It’s absolutely essential for the citizens of the United States to become fluent in other languages, and schools, colleges, and universities must include producing bilingual students as a central part of their mission.”
– former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
Language learning is essential for students in every academic field. It expands their perspectives and helps build meaningful connections with communities at home and globally. Developing new language skills not only improves career readiness but also opens a variety of diverse opportunities. By embracing the challenge of learning a new language, students are empowered to succeed in our interconnected world.
There are countless reasons to study a world language! At UWM, we offer several languages alongside English, ensuring there’s something just right for you!
