Spanish The modern language major ensures that you become as fluent as possible in Spanish and introduces you to the cultures of this language. In addition to language classes, students study literature, cinema, history, and general civilization. Language study combines well with many other majors as varied as business, linguistics, speech-language pathology, and computer science. Technical skills combined with language broaden your appeal in the job market. Beyond opening up the world, a major in a modern language opens many career options in teaching at the elementary, secondary, or college level; international business relations; high-tech fields; government service; journalism; library science; world affairs; travel; and community service, especially in Spanish-speaking areas.
Studying modern languages at Northeastern enables you to gain linguistic proficiency and to explore foreign literatures and cultures.
