Consider a Language
Minor
You are already on
your way!
 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

new worlds of literature and

students outside of North America usually have more
than one language.
