Modern Languages

In today's "global village", immediate communication and world travel are commonplace. While we are each citizens of a single country, we are also citizens of the world, and we in IAS believe that learning a language is a great way to become a productive and influential global citizen. Learning another language not only allows us to communicate with others, it is also essential to understanding other cultures and functioning in foreign countries, be it for leisure, study, or work purposes.

For these reasons, IAS requires all students to take at least 21 credits in 1 language with at least 4 courses at the 300 level. The languages offered include Arabic, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Beginner-level courses are also available in Korean, Greek, and Hebrew.
