No matter how you say it, URI is BIG in languages. About 3,600 students take a language class each semester, or about 28 percent of the undergraduate population.<\/p>\n

The reason? Languages go with everything. Our dual-degree programs, plus opportunities to double- and triple-major, let you be creative about combining your language degree with other disciplines. And when you graduate, you\u2019ll have the language and cross-cultural skills that global employers want.<\/p>\n
