<p>Marquette offers majors in Spanish, French, and German, however, does it teach any other languages than that?
I want to be an International Affairs major, and I'm specifically interested in Eastern Europe and Russia, and would like to learn Russian. Would this be impossible?</p>
<p>I'm also interested in Arabic, though to a lesser extent. Are either of these offered?</p>
<p>This may actually be a deciding factor for me, since language would be so important for an International Affairs/Relations major, so all information is helpful.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure Latin and Greek are offered, especially with it being a Jesuit school. I too am interested if Chinese or Japanese might be offered, which would certainly be useful not just in business, but in scientific research as well. Thanks for starting this thread!</p>
<p>I might have found an answer to my own question. The link below is what they say they’ll offer next fall (in the Arts and Sciences College), and there’s no Russian there. Chinese and Japanese are both offered (along with Latin, Greek, Arabic, Italian, and Spanish). </p>
<p>so, yay for Arabic, boo for no Russian. I don’t know what I’ll do, because my local U offers a major in Russian (not that I want to major in it…), but I don’t know. I would appreciated somebody else making this decision for me, at this point.
And if I choose my state U, I need to choose quick, because dorms are filling up really quickly now… D:</p>
<p>Thanks for the post. Is there a way you can take Russian during the summer at the other school? Might not transfer credit, but you should still be able to put it on a transcript to boost your resume for job or grad school.</p>
<p>Glad to hear about Japanese and Chinese.</p>
<p>One of the Jesuit scholastics at our high school is offering Chinese twice a week during the lunch break. It won’t be given for credit, but I think it would be awesome for the kids to be exposed to that.</p>
<p>Okay, so I e-mailed Marquette telling them pretty much the same thing I told you guys, and what they suggested I could do would be to take Russian courses at UW-Milwaukee.</p>
<p>Does anybody know if there is a program so that students can take other classes at colleges throughout Milwaukee? Is there an inter-city collegiate networking thingy that would make this easy, or would it be a hassle?
I’m e-mailing them in response to ask, as well, but I thought I might get a quicker response here.</p>
<p>Just fyi, for future possible-students that want to learn languages not offered at Marquette.</p>
<p>Most colleges will let you take some courses outside of your home institution with permission. Check with the admissions office. They would be a good starting point for info.</p>
