By nature, Liberal Arts majors make great employees in any field because of their ability to communicate effectively, think critically and solve complex problems.
These timeless skills make them attractive to employers in all walks of society. Specifically though, Foreign Language & Literature majors often pursue careers as:
- Foreign Services Officer
- Immigration Agent
- International Relations Specialist
- Non-Profit Administration
- Linguist
- Logistics Coordinator
- Foreign Languages Teacher
- Study Abroad Advisor
- Translator/Interpreter
- Government, FBI, DEA
When the World Languages and Literature (WLL) major is matched with complementary minors, majors and thoughtful internships, new possibilities arise. A few examples are:
- WLL + business minor + industry internship = business world opportunities, especially international business
- WLL + medical school = Physician who can work with diverse communities across the globe in programs like “Doctors Without Borders” or the World Health Organization
- WLL + teaching certificate = Foreign Languages public school teacher
- WLL + Social Work major = Social worker who is able to communicate with more members in a community
- WLL + Non-profit internship = Bilingual Non-Profit Management/Administration
- WLL + International Studies + Study Abroad = Foreign Service
