Our courses prepare you to live and work in the global community of the 21st century. Our expert professors will give you powerful tools for communicating with people all around the world. But you will also experience language and culture firsthand. At Washington College, you can learn how to dance the flamenco, chat in French over coffee and croissants, make origami, and plan a real Oktoberfest meal. The Department of Modern Languages will help you prepare for your role in the world after college, whatever, and wherever, that might be. Develop a profound understanding of the culture of the French and Francophone world. Learn to navigate across cross-cultural lines.

Our graduates pursue successful careers in diverse fields: education, international education, journalism, social services, business, international business, economics, government, law, international law, and applied and theoretical sciences.
