Ques: Can I study multiple languages in a BA program?

Yes, quite a number of Bachelor of Arts (BA) courses provide room to study a variety of languages, either double majoring or minoring or through elective coursework. Some even have special undergraduate courses in linguistics or in modern languages under which students get the opportunity to major in two or more languages. Some others also offer concentrations in languages whereby students get a chance to pursue different aspects of linguistics such as literature, translation, or cultural studies. If you’re interested in pursuing multiple languages, it’s best to check university requirements and course structures to ensure they align with your academic and career goals.

Various BA programs also afford immersion experiences like study-abroad programs, foreign language exchange programs, or foreign language internships. Studying multiple languages promises better career advancement in translation work, international business, diplomacy, and academic career. Some programs also have cross-disciplinary classes that combine the study of a language with disciplines like history, international relations, or communications. To ensure greatest language acquisition, students need to practice through extracurricular activities, the media, and conversation groups that reinforce their strength and fluency.
