1. Consider a Language Minor You are already on your way!

2.  Another language enables you to work, live and travel in another country.  Many career choices are only open to you if you have another language.  For many graduate programs, a second language is required. "Studying languages and linguistics is one of the most rewarding experiences here at Queen’s." Andrea and Alanna, DSC Chairs

3.  The study of languages unlocks new worlds of literature and culture.  Learning a language sparks your creativity! Finish what you started! A minor in a language complements any major and will stand out on your transcript. It will make you competitive internationally, since students outside of North America usually have more than one language.
