Programs and certificates
We offer strong language programs that give you the skills and flexibility to succeed in careers around the world.
In addition to language skills, you'll learn vital lessons about intercultural dialogue, tolerance, critical thinking, understanding and negotiating differences. We offer undergraduate majors and minors in Applied World Languages and Cultures, French, German and Spanish, as well as beginning courses in Japanese. We also offer a Translation Certificate (English and Spanish) open to all majors.
The online world languages placement test (CMU log-in required) is designed to help you determine the first course you should take, based on your ability.
