Learning a foreign language is essential for success in today’s increasingly interconnected world—and there’s no better place to study languages than Indiana University, which is recognized worldwide for its exceptional language instruction as well as its commitment to offering less commonly taught languages.

In the College of Arts and Sciences, which houses IU’s language programs, you can choose from over 50 languages—everything from Akan to Zulu. And when you’re ready to fully immerse yourself in your chosen language, you can take advantage of IU’s more than 300 study abroad programs in over 50 countries.

For a full list of currently offered languages, check out the Language Portal at the Center for Language Technology. There you can also find interviews with faculty and students about the benefits of studying one of IU’s many foreign languages as well as sample classroom activities to give you a sense of what to expect.
