World Languages

Are you interested in an immersive experience focused on a language and a culture not your own? Would you like to use the knowledge gained from that experience to teach? To serve others as a translator or interpreter? 

This program from Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences’ Department of English & World Languages prepares students for a variety of career pathways. 

The World Languages program at Augusta University offers an experience like no other — one that gives you concentrations in French and Spanish as well as a concentration in teaching.
