We offer undergraduate majors and minors in French, German and Spanish, as well as beginning courses in Japanese. We also offer a Translation Certificate (English and Spanish) open to all majors.
The online world languages placement test (CMU log-in required) is designed to help you determine the first course you should take, based on your ability.
