Global Languages provides MIT students with the language abilities and intercultural competencies necessary to become engaged global citizens and leaders.

“The HASS education that I have received at MIT has given me many tools to broaden my horizons.”

Cathy Nguyen, SB '20, Biological Engineering major, Spanish minor.

"The benefit of language is so clear--how it opens up new doors. You can imagine yourself in places you couldn't have imagined before."

Charles Huang, SB '11

“Learning a second language is an incredibly rewarding experience, one that had opened my mind to other cultures and ways of life.”

Chase Vogeli, SB '20, Mathematics major, German minor.

“The variety of my education has given me such a joy for the details of life, especially in valuing and appreciating other cultures.”

Booker Schelhaas, SB '20, Mechanical Engineering major, Spanish minor.

“At an institute that is so technically focused, I really enjoyed having a smaller, discussion-based class that pushed me to think about the world through a different lens.”
